I have made a few batches with this yeast. I wonder if my experiences are similar to yours. It does fine but starts to smell after the fermentation is over or very close to over. I tried a taste of my oldest batch with 71-B (5 months) and it taste much better than it had.
Do you have similar results or am I doing something wrong? My second oldest 71-B batch has started tasting better than before as well.
If I were to try and describe what it smells like I would say "open up a new pouch of dried apricots" and that's pretty close.
I'm just about finished with a Pomegranate wine that I used 71-B. I have used only Fermaid -O this time and it smells better. Although it has started smelling a little bit sour in the past day or so.
