Product Description

THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR BALANCED CIDERS

Fermentis SafCider™ AB-1, formerly known as SafCider, selected from the Champagne region, can be used for all types of sweet and dry ciders from fresh or concentrated apple juices.  In French cider recipe trail, AB-1 displayed a delicate aromatic profile combining fresh apple and elaborated fruit applesauce notes with a balanced mouthfeel. This cider yeast works at a wide temperature range between 10-30°C (50-86°F) with ideal temperatures between 18-24°C (64-75°F). Works at low pH from 3.3. Low nitrogen requirements: from 150ppm of Yeast Available Nitrogen. Very good assimilation of fructose. Highly flocculant.

The best cider yeast for balanced ciders, combining delicate fresh apple and apple sauce notes. Fast and clean fermenter able to lower acidity.

SafCider™ AB-1 Characteristics:

  • Temp Range: 50-86°F
  • Taxonomy: Saccharomyces bayanus
  • Aromas: Fresh apples, low banana pear, low fruit compote
  • Mouthfeel: Balanced, low sweetness, medium crispness
  • Malic Acid Consumption: High - up to 1.5 g/L
  • Max initial SO2: 125 mg/L

SafCider™ AB-1 can be directly pitched without rehydration. If you prefer to rehydrate, the instructions are below.

  • Using a sanitized container collect a small amount of 95-105°F sterile water equal to 10 times the weight of the yeast. 10ml/g of yeast.
