Fermentis – SafCider AB-1 Dry Yeast 5g

Description

For sweet and dry ciders from fresh or concentrated apple juices. Safcider AB-1 is suitable for difficult/harsh harsh conditions with a high alcohol tolerance and mixes with sugar syrups. It can ferment in a temperature range of 50-86°F, but has an ideal temperature range of 64-75°F.

Species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae

• Excellent settlement strength even with its sensitive to killer phenotype
• Regular kinetic
• Broad fermentation temperature spectrum: 10-30°C (50-86°F)
• Very low nitrogen requirements: Ratio YAN**(mg/L)/Sugar(g/L) >0.7
• Very good assimilation of fructose
• Maximum initial SO2 level recommended: 125mg/L
• High malic acid consumption (up to 1.5g/L)
• Medium 2-phenylethanol and isoamyl acetate producer. Amylic notes can be enhanced especially when YAN/Sugar >1

This yeast can be pitched directly; However, if rehydration is preferred via Fermentis instructions: Sprinkle the yeast in a minimum of 10 times its weight of sterile water or wort (we suggest 4 oz) at 70°F to 77°F (21 to 25 °C). Do not stir. Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes. Gently stir for 30 minutes, and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.
