Product Description

Cider House select yeast is a high ester-producing strain, creating exceptional flavor. Trace nutrition has been included in this sachet to ensure the best possible cider quality through good healthy yeast. Our active dried yeast is suitable for all types of ciders and is able to ferment under various conditions. The capable fermentation temperature range is 54 - 82 degrees, however for optimal performance the recommended fermentation temperature should be between 60 - 70 degrees and maintained there for best results. To prevent extended lag times and risk of bacterial contamination be sure that the juice temperature is above 60 degrees prior to pitching the yeast. Sprinkle contents directly on up to 23 L (6 US Gal) of juice. Ferment at 18-24 degrees C (60-70 degrees F) for best results.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Yeast that gives a quick ferment
    Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I'll preface this review by saying that I had zero fermentation experience prior to using this yeast. I gave 4 stars for the rating of the yeast properties because I know nothing about yeast.
    I bought this in attempt to duplicate the Woodchuck hard cider and so far have had drinkable yields. First fermentation I let go nearly 14 days which was long and the yeast died off but it had a good alcohol content. I transferred and added sugar and yeast to the already fermented cider. After an additional 10 days it was at or beyond the ABV of wine and had a strong alcohol smell. There was an off flavor most likely due to the old dead yeast from the first fermentation. I was trying to find out the alcohol tolerance of the yeast but gave up on that experiment because it was pretty much beyond the point where it had any good taste and was more like apple wine. If you are looking to produce alcohol for the effect, this has done a very good job and so far the only limit I have found is the amount of sugar. I have had good luck with fermentations of 7 days giving what I would estimate around 4% ABV but I have yet to invest in a hygrometer to measure the before and after SG. There is very little yeast flavor beyond that which I have tasted in any normal beer or other hard ciders. I'm positive someone with experience would have no problem getting good results.

    Works well. Making home hard cider from freshes pasteurized cider from a local farm. I use a cheap beer kit and each pack has enough for 2 batches. Cider fermented well and is conditioning now. Not sure the ABV, but seems nice and high with the flavor preserved. Did conver ALL of the sugar to alcohol, so you will need to add some sweetness at the end unless you like a real "brut" type flavor.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My go-to cider yeast
    Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    This is an amazing cider yeast for beginners and for seasoned cider makers who want to make a decent tasting cheap cider. It doesn’t create the complexity of flavors that can be found with other yeasts, and probably should be skipped if you’re pressing a specialized blend of apples to make some top notch ciders. This is more for taking store bought juices, or just a gallon of pressed apples, and making something enjoyable.

    5.0 out of 5 stars #1 yeast for diy cider
    Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    If you know a diy cider maker friend, this would be a great gift. It's one of the best tasting and specifically for cider. This is made to produce more alcohol and less carbon aswell. You'll need to make a starter and do 2 ferments, the first of which use a nutrient. Do both ferments before bottling and sugar prime. Non alcoholic if you let sit one week without a starter and nutrient. Prime bottles with sugar for carbonation.
