This is my first brew of cider, or anything for that matter.
The brew store suggested Lallemand Windsor or Mangrove Jack's Craft Series MO2 Cider yeast.
Do I refrigerate or freeze leftover yeast? The brew store guy said use the entire contents since all should be used at once. But, I thought I'd read other folks using partial packets and re-using the rest later.
Also the Windsor calls for rehydration in water prior to use, but the other
does not. Think I can just put the Windsor directly into the juice without the hydration step? I wasn't sure how 4oz of extra water would affect the flavor.
thx.
