CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Lauren Hulsman – Diemersfontein
I am a huge fan of the Alchemy range, and your Duet Soft bacteria. I love anything that prevents green characters or allows me to drop the pH early to prevent potential spoilage and VA issues. Your service I cannot complain about, orders are for the most part on time and as promised, the COA along with delivery has improved – I never had to follow up on any paperwork this year.

I am happy!
Martin Stevens – Winemaker/Consultant
I have been using VIN 13 for 16 years and I consistently find this yeast to produce and release tropical (passion fruit, gooseberry and guava dominating), as well as floral aromas and flavours. The yeast is robust and ferments at a wide temperature range and I have never had problems with stuck fermentations. I use VIN 13 mainly on Chenin blanc, Colombard, Gewürztraminer and Rosé. A safe and reliable yeast.
