SafCider™ AB-1 技术特点

Dosage / Temperature

– 20 to 30 g/hl for first fermentation
– 30 to 40 g/hl for prise de mousse

– Broad fermentation temperature spectrum: 10-30°C (50-86°F).

Use

For sweet and dry ciders from fresh or concentrated apple juices.

Suitable for difficult fermentation conditions and mixes with sugar syrups.

Rehydration procedure:

① Direct inoculation:

Pour the yeast on the surface at least 10 times their weight of must (possibly directly on the top of the tank or during tank filling after clarification).

Gently stir to avoid or break clumps.
Immediately transfer into the tank via a pumping over with aeration (or homogenize tank volume).

② With prior rehydration:

Pour the yeast on the surface of 10 times their weight of tap water at room temperature.

Gently stir to avoid or break clumps.
Wait for 20 minutes and transfer into the tank via a pumping over with aeration.

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

Note that you could find a different yeast classification for this product on our sachets and on older versions of our communication tools.
Indeed, this product was previously classified as Saccharomyces bayanus, but as the taxonomic classification of yeasts is a highly evolutive concept, the most recent edition of ‘The Yeast, a taxonomic study’ made us revise our classification to be aligned with the scientific community.
For sustainable reasons, we made the choice to use our remaining stock of printed sachets before we re-print new ones.
In the meantime, don’t worry if you have already fermented your beverage with this yeast strain, yeast taxonomy classification has no impact on the product characteristics.
