Cider M02 Dry Yeast

Used in my first homemade batch of hard cider, for my first ever time using this it seemed perfect and price was good!!

good

Not the best and not the worst. It makes for a crisp, dry cider that is light on body. Acidity and tartness is accentuated. There's a fair bit of sulfur released near the end of fermentation and dealing with that is a matter of time. It slows the process down from what could be 4 weeks to 6 or 8 weeks. I have used Noveau / rose style wine yeasts before with much better success. S-04 or Nottingham makes a comparable cider in less time. I've tried this yeast in the Mangrove Jack Perry kit and also using my own juice and both times noticed profound sulfur production. It was not a one-time matter. This is maybe a second or third tier yeast for cider.

This is definitely not the fastest yeast. In fact it's the slowest I've ever used by a pretty large margin.The end result is delicious if you have the patience though.

I got yeast in good condition. was skeptic since other yeast I bought from other sellers was not good but this came quickly and the yeast bloomed asap. the yeast started fermenting right away. thanks again

Very active--works within 24 hours. This yeast ferments to make fairly dry cider, with rich, smooth esters, better than champagne strains. Highly recommended.

A favorite, makes great cider ,last for 6 months

This yeast makes a great clean hard cider!!! I've tried many, and this one is the best so far for flavor and the nose is great as well.
