Hello. I've heard good things about Lavlin 71B for a good unaged cider because of MLF. Any other good yeast strains for a quick turnaround young dry cider? I'm cautious of beer/ale yeasts because I'm looking for a bone dry cider.

Good to know, thank you. Do you have any specific ale yeasts you enjoy?I've done several ciders with ale yeasts that finished below 1.000 SG. From my anecdotal experience, unless you're fortifying your cider to a high OG, they'll dry it out just fine. Just give ’em a healthy dose of nutrient.

I just made a dry cider with this and it's one of the best I've ever made. I don't know if I want to revert to anything else I've tried in the past. As @z-bob said, it's a white wine yeast.I like Red Star Cote des Blancs the best.
