Fermentis SafCider AC-4 - Crisp
Ideal to produce fresh and crisp cider.
Intensely fresh aromatic profile (apple, floral) with a crisp mouthfeel enhancing cider structure. Ensures a very good assimilation of fructose and excellent for low gravity ciders.
Please note that those observations are based on French cider recipe trials.
Ingredients
- Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
- Sorbitan monostearate (E491)
Technical Characteristics
- Excellent settlement strength thanks to its killer phenotype
- Fast kinetic
- Broad fermentation temperature spectrum: 10-30°C (50-86°F)
- Low nitrogen requirements: Ratio YAN**(mg/L)/Sugar(g/L) >0.7 – 0.8
- Very good assimilation of fructose
- Maximum initial SO2 level recommended: 75mg/L
- Very low malic acid consumption (less than 0.4g/L)
- Medium 2-phenylethanol and isoamyl acetate producer. High production of ethyl (fruity) esters
Storage
The high rate of dry matter of our yeasts assures an optimum storage in its original packaging at a temperature not higher than 20°C (68°F) (during 3 years) and 10°C (50°F) for an extended storage (4 years).
Shelf life
48 months from production date. Refer to best before end date printed on the sachet. Opened sachets must be sealed and stored at 4°C (39°F) and used within 7 days of opening. Do not use soft or damaged sachets.
Each Fermentis yeast is developed under a specific production scheme and benefits from the know-how of the Lesaffre group, world leader in yeast manufacturing. This guarantees the highest microbiological purity and maximum fermentation activity.
