Quick yeast question

[Danmor1]

I've really gotten into meads lately, though by no means do I want to neglect my cider heritage.

My question: does anyone know if d47 or 71b make good ciders, not just meads. Also, is there a difference between 71b and 71b 1122? Also, what will an English Ale WLP do to a cider?

Not sure about the other yeasts, but I love english ale yeast in my ciders. I switched from montrachet wine yeast to nottingham ale yeast. I will never go back. It leaves more of the apple flavor behind.

(I think nottingham is close to wlp007)

Drinking one now. Delicious.

Thanks, ChemEng. A Nottingham does produce a good cider. I'm just trying to figure out if my current yeast stock might work as well for cider as it does mead. Otherwise, it's back to the LHBS (it's maybe 30 minutes each way, so not bad at all).
