## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you use this for moonshine?**
A: I have never done that but i am sure you can its goid yeast but depending on how much your making you probbably will need alot . its nade ti give you a higher alcohol content .  my cider can put strong.  Good luck

**Q: should this packaged yeast be stored in the refrigerator prior to use?**
A: From the Manufacturer: 
"It is recommended to store Lalvin EC-1118™ yeast in dry conditions, between 4°C and 15°C, for optimal viability and product performance."

However, it's a very robust and reliable yeast strain.  If you keep it stored in the foil packet at room temp it can stay viable for a long time with robust and reliable fermentation kinetics.  Just don't expose it to air.  It will lose viablity.
