Fermentis SafCider AB-1 - Balance
The right choice for balanced Ciders.
Delicate aromatic profile combining fresh (apple) and elaborated fruit (applesauce) notes with a balanced mouthfeel respecting cider structure. For sweet and dry ciders from fresh or concentrated apple juices. Suitable for difficult fermentation conditions and mixes with sugar syrups.
Please note that those observations are based on French cider recipe trials.
Ingredients
- Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
- Sorbitan monostearate (E491)
Technical Characteristics
- Excellent settlement strength even with its sensitive to killer phenotype
- Regular kinetic
- Broad fermentation temperature spectrum: 10-30°C (50-86°F)
- Very low nitrogen requirements: Ratio YAN**(mg/L)/Sugar(g/L) >0.7
- Very good assimilation of fructose
- Maximum initial SO2 level recommended: 125mg/L
- High malic acid consumption (up to 1.5g/L)
- Medium 2-phenylethanol and isoamyl acetate producer. Amylic notes can be enhanced especially when YAN/Sugar >1
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.
