SafCider™ AB-1 (Apple Balanced) is a specialty yeast strain specifically selected for producing crisp and balanced ciders. This 5g sachet is perfect for 5-6 gallon batches. AB-1 is known for its high fructose consumption and its ability to produce clean, fruit-forward ciders even in challenging conditions. It provides a remarkably fresh profile with a dry finish, making it perfect for everything from traditional apple ciders to specialty fruit-infused melomels.
Cider Maker's Tip: For the most aromatic results, rehydrate the yeast in 10x its weight of sterile water or apple juice at 85°F before pitching. AB-1 thrives at temperatures between 50°F and 86°F. For a cider with the most delicate apple aromatics, ferment at the lower end of the range (approx. 60-65°F) and ensures adequate nutrient levels for a healthy finish.
