Homebrewing supplies are a bit thin on the ground in my part of the world. So I came across sachets of "Wine yeast", indicated simply as: Saccharomyces cerevisae and as being produced by Enartis, Italy. And apart from instructions for rehydration at 35-38C using yeast nutrient (comes in a separate sachet), that is ALL! It doesn't say anything else! Oh, and the sachet print/text is dark purple, vaguely suggesting it might be intended for red wine!
Surely Saccharomyces cerevisae is a pretty vague designation, it could be any strain, and Enartis produce a number, judging from their site, including for red, white, rose and lots in between? Anyone have an educated guess on what it might actually be, or do I need to get onto the producer (a local import company)?
I was actually wanting to use it for ginger wine specifically, and possibly cider - could I go far wrong with this, whatever it is?
