The etymology of the term hammock is obscure. Dictionaries usually give it as an archaic form of hummock (hammock appeared in print earlier than hummock). Hammock is first attested in English in the 1550s as a nautical term for a tree-covered island (a mound of trees) seen on the horizon.
Here is a little breakdown for what type of yeast works well with which fruit: Montrachet: A very good general use wine yeast for most fruits. When in doubt use this yeast. One of the more neutral yeasts available so that the fruit flavor is what comes through the most. Cotes Des Blanc/ K1V-1126: These yeast strains are very good for fruit that produces a white wine look at the end. Wines such as apple or pear will work very well with this strain of yeast.
Yeast is used in winemaking, where it converts the sugars present in grape juice (must) into ethanol. Yeast is normally already present on grape skins. Fermentation can be done with this endogenous wild yeast, but this procedure gives unpredictable results, which depend upon the exact types of yeast species present.ertain strains of some species of yeasts produce proteins called yeast killer toxins that allow them to eliminate competing strains. (See main article on killer yeast .) This can cause problems for winemaking but could potentially also be used to advantage by using killer toxin-producing strains to make the wine.
