SafCider™ AS-2A yeast is a yeast to bring sweetness and complexity to your cider, produced by Fermentis (Lesaffre), key global players in yeasts and fermentation solutions.

  • Ensures a very good assimilation of fructose and excellent for low gravity cider
  • Sensory profile*: Fresh aromatic profile (apple, citrus) with nice elaborated fruit notes (applesauce) bringing a good overall complexity. Sweet and round mouthfeel
  • E2U™ certified product - save time and energy - you can choose to pitch directly into juice or rehydrate prior to adding
  • 500g

(*) Please note that those observations are based on French cider recipe trials.

Application

Usage

  • For all types of sweet and dry ciders from fresh or concentrated apple juices
  • Suitable for difficult fermentation conditions and mixes with sugar syrups

Dosage/Temperature

  • 10 to 20 g/hl for first fermentation
  • Broad fermentation temperature spectrum: 10-30°C (50-86°F)

Rehydration procedure

Direct inoculation:

  1. Pour the yeast on the surface at least 10 times their weight of must (possibly directly on the top of the tank or during tank filling after clarification).
  2. Gently stir to avoid or break clumps.
  3. Immediately transfer into the tank via a pumping over with aeration (or homogenize tank volume).

With prior rehydration

  1. Pour the yeast on the surface of 10 times their weight of tap water at room temperature.
  2. Gently stir to avoid or break clumps.
  3. Wait for 20 minutes and transfer into the tank via a pumping over with aeration
