Could someone tell us who makes it?
Starting 5 1/4 gallons of fresh pressed cider with this yeast tomorrow. Details to come
Anyone noticing that it takes a little longer for this yeast to clear? I know I could cold crash of use some gelatin to speed things up. It's not a problem just an observation.
Just did a comparison taste test of four batches I started in Nov.
I think I like the S-04 better. It finished at 1.004. The Cider Select finished at 1.000. Ironically, the two cider selects I made side by side same recipe had slightly different flavors. Nothing off or bad just different. I'll keg and carb one soon. View attachment 246438
All four were fresh pressed from the orchard same day as pressed. Both Safale batches were same pressing. Both Brewers Best batches were same day a few weeks after the Safale.
So I started this batch a week ago. Pitched the yeast on Monday. S. G. 1.055
Today (Sunday) the bubbles slowed and irregular. S. G. 1.005
Nice color and smell. No farts!
Did you use a previous yeast cake, or use a fresh pack?
I think it's a temperature thing. I'm fermenting close to 60 Deg. and it seems to like it a lot. Tasted my first batch which is in the keg today. Soooo good!
