I read on the North Corner Brewer website (http://www.northcornerbrewing.com/page/cider.aspx) that ale and lager yeasts are intolerant of sulfites above about 15ppm. Is that true? I have two batches going and two more I'll be launching this weekend and all are using ale yeasts. I'm planning to...

I'm thinking about using WLP002 and WLP028 for my next two batches of cider. Anyone have any experiences using these yeasts? If so, how'd they do? I have two batches fermenting now with Nottingham and S-04 which seem to be doing well but I wanted to experiment with some of the liquid yeasts and...

I used Trader Joe's unfiltered honeycrisp cider w/S-04 for my first attempt at cider, and Musselman's unfiltered 100% juice cider and Nottingham for my second batch. I'm planning on making my third batch using Tree Top honeycrisp 100% juice which I'm assuming will end up similar to the Trader...

I'm new to the forum (1st post) and cider making; haven't made a batch of cider yet but I'm reading up on it. I've made a couple of batches of wine from backyard grapes, and mead so I'm familiar with those processes. One of the things I learned recently was that a lot of ale yeasts ferment...
