Fermentis SafCider™ AB‑1 Active Dry Cider Yeast

THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR BALANCED CIDER

Ensures a very good assimilation of fructose and excellent for low gravity ciders.

SafCider™ AB-1 the best cider yeast for balanced ciders, combing delicate fresh apple and applesauce notes.

Ingredients: Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), emulsifier; sorbitan monostearate (E491)

DOSAGE

– 10 to 20 g/hl for first fermentation

– 30 to 40 g/hl for prise de mousse

USAGE

For all types of sweet & dry ciders from fresh or concentrated apple juices - recommended even under difficult fermentation conditions.

REHYDRATION PROCEDURE

Direct inoculation:

– Pour the yeast on the surface of at least 10 times their weight of must (possibly directly on the top of the tank or during tank filling after clarification).

– Gently stir to avoid or break clumps.

– Immediately transfer into the tank via a pumping over with aeration (or homogenize tank volume).

With prior rehydration:

– Pour the yeast on the surface of 10 times their weight of tap water at room temperature.

– Gently stir to avoid or break clumps.

– Wait for 20 minutes and transfer into the tank via a pumping over with aeration.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

– Excellent settlement strength even with its sensitive to killer phenotype

– Regular kinetic

– Broad fermentation temperature spectrum: 10-30°C (50-86°F)

– Very low nitrogen requirements: Ratio YAN**(mg/L)/Sugar(g/L) > 0.7

– Very good assimilation of fructose

– Maximum initial SO2 level recommended: 125mg/L

– High malic acid consumption (up to 1.5 g/L)

– Medium 2-phenylethanol and isoamyl acetate producer.

- Amylic notes can be enhanced especially when YAN/Sugar >1
