Cider House Select™ Cider Yeast is a high ester-producing strain, conferring exceptional depth of flavor and revealing the full potential of the fruit. Ciders fermented using this strain are especially clean, flavorful and refreshing in taste. This is a robust active dried yeast for all types of cider, capable of fermenting under challenging fermentation conditions. Cider House Select™ Cider Yeast is a highly flocculent strain capable of fermenting over a wide temperature range, has good fructose assimilation, high SO2 tolerance and low nitrogen requirements.
The optimum dosage rate for this strain is 1g per 1.3 gallons (5 liters) of must. Yeast can be added directly to the must (it is important to ensure complete mixing) or alternatively as a yeast cream. Yeast should be added at least 1 day after SO2 addition.
