Review: So aggressive yeast - I haven't seen more aggressive yeast than this one. I used a very popular champagne yeast on my 4 gallon cider, followed all the pitching instructions and added the needed nutrients and four days later nothing happened, and the SG was still the same. So I added this yeast and boom they started working around five hours after I pitched them, and my cider's SG was down from 1060 to 994 in THREE DAYS!! and got even lower in secondary fermentation to 990 after a month. I used it again with cider but this time I pitched it in 7 gallons, added the needed nutrients and they literally started working in a few hours after pitching. The SG got down from 1075 to 994 in three days as well!!! Not sure why it ferments this dry. Next batch I will significantly lower the amount of yeast nutrients because I don't like a very dry cider. The temperature in both batches was a stable 24C 24hours. The yeast tend to sink down nicely leaving the cider clear and clean. I'm new to fermentation and the above two batches were my first batches ever, so lessons learned!
Review: Excellent choice for home and pro. - Fermentis has never let me down. Not once in my 8+ years in the beer world. The strain is effective, and ferments with little off flavors letting your ingredients do the job. Cheaper and better shipping than Northern Brewer, this rocks!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much to use to make 1 gallon batch?**
A: That's a good question. Each pack can make between 5 and 8 gallons but you will need to use a higher concentration if your recipe requires it. So, for 1 gallon, you could just use as little as 1/5th of a pack or more if you have a stronger recipe. Thanks!

**Q: Is one packet enough for a 5 gallon batch of cider?**
A: Great question. If you are making an average strength cider, then just follow the guidelines on the package which is 1 pack per 20 to 30L (5 to 8 gallons). If you are making a higher strength cider, then you can certainly use 2 packs per batch. Thanks!

**Q: What is the max ABV% this yeast is rated for?**
A: Thank you for your inquiry. The Safcider yeast will go up to 11% depending on all of the variables.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ but once it starts it's unstoppable until it's good and ready
*by M***D on July 19, 2018*

Takes a few days to get going in a large bucket, but once it starts it's unstoppable until it's good and ready. So far, all 8 gallons made have worked beautifully, with the last 6 brewing right now. Won't have a verdict on that batch until October, but the yeast is cooking right along.
