Does Gervin have its own website? (Searching for "Gervin yeast" and such only turns up sites that sell it.)
Also, I heard recently that another company had bought Gervin --- does anyone have information about this?
Information on Gervin & its products?

Hi Adam.
I am on pretty good terms with my local winemaking shop and I recently asked similar questions of him. He said: "I think the guy that ran Gervin had a heart attack and couldn't run the show anymore. I believe another UK brand has have bought them out - I can't remember if that brand is Youngs or Ritchie. Youngs' yeasts are said to be unbranded Lalvin products." I was pretty gutted because I love Gervin products and have been using them since I started making wine.
Gervin doesn't seem to have a website and the company itself seems/ seemed to be pretty small. I tried ringing the phone number on their yeast sachets but there was never anyone around to answer - I think in hte end the number was disconnected.
I hope that slew of maybes is of some use...

That's interesting. I'll check with my local brewing & winemaking shop too.
