Frequently asked questions about SafCider AS-2
Does the yeast need rehydrating?
No. Fermentis states that the yeast can be sprinkled directly onto at least ten times its weight of must and stirred in gently. You can also rehydrate it in ten times its weight of room-temperature water for 20 minutes.
How do I store an opened pack?
An opened pack must be resealed, stored at 4 °C or colder and used within 7 days. Unopened, the yeast should be stored below 15 °C if kept for more than 6 months.
What kind of cider does AS-2 make?
AS-2 makes a fruity, aromatic cider with apple and citrus and a round mouthfeel. For a cleaner, drier cider, SafCider AB-1 or AC-4 is a better fit.
