Just a quick one folks - what's the Gervin equivalent of KV-1116?

I dont think there is one....
The K at the start of the name indicates it is a "killer" strain, meaning it will dominate all other yeasts poresent, Gervin dont have one of those.
what are you fermenting with it?
there will be a Gervin yeast to suit for sure
regards

According to Goldseals guide to yeast gervin varietal E is the equivalent.Comment

I want to have a backup to rescue stuck ferments and for use in e.g. heavy meads where the environment is going to be tough going for garden variety yeasts.
KV-1116 sounds like the man for the job.
Trying to order put an ingredients order in with thriftyshopper but they don't seem to have lalvin yeasts.Comment

Gervin yellow label (No 3) is the one its the Lalvin EC-1118 equivalent ( in fact it isnt the equivalent, its the same)
hope that helps
