I'll be making a cider from primarily Granny Smith apples as I can get a good deal on a couple of bushels locally. I'm looking for a tart, dry cider and I plan on splitting my batch using WY4736 for half and going for a wild yeast ferment on the other half.
Does anyone have suggestions for a small addition (probably a general grocery store apple) that would improve a largely granny smith (80-90%) cider?
I've read posts on the forums here that suggest a blend of apples with around 50-60% Granny Smiths. And a few mentions that a pure granny smith cider was "too tart".
Thanks for any suggestions.
