Style

Name: Common Cider Category: Standard Cider and Perry - 27A Type: Cider

Notes

What yeast to use?
Lavlin D47: preserve fruit aroma, but will be dry - could backsweeten and serve flat.

Packet Yeast: likely to end up very dry.

Safale S-04: flocculates quickly, is fast and clean, can ferment low as 15 to preserve fruit aroma. 75% attenuation. Would be good in bottle too, though may still want to serve flat.

Could use Gervin #9 or Lavlin 71B to reduce total acidity if wanting to add some malic acid.
Gervin #9: aromatic yeast, young fruity bouquet, reduces level of malic acid by 25% or more.

Could still then backsweeten, but this may not be required.
