Hi all,
So I want to brew a cyser that retains a fair amount of the apple flavor. I've heard that certain yeasts can help with keeping the apple flavor stronger, while others tend to eliminate it. I am not overly concerned about dry vs. sweet as I can always just backsweeten later on. I've only made one other cider before (apricot cider), and used Nottingham for the yeast. It is still aging, so I do not know how it really turned out yet. I was just hoping for some yeast suggestions from those with more cider making experience.
Thanks
