Fermentis | SafCider™ AC-4 | Dry Cider Yeast

    Description

    • AC-4 is ideal to produce fresh and crisp cider
    • Intensely fresh aromatic profile (apple, floral) with a crisp mouthfeel enhancing cider structure
    • Fermentis active dry yeast offers reliability, ease-of-use, and consistency to home and professional beverage makers across the world

    The best cider yeast for an intensely fresh aromatic profile (apple, floral) with a crisp mouthfeel enhancing cider structure.

    Usage:
    For sweet and dry ciders even under difficult fermentation conditions.

    Technical Characteristics:

    • Excellent settlement strength even with its sensitive to 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 0.4 g/L)
    • Medium 2-phenylethanol and isoamyl acetate producer. High production of ethyl (fruity) esters

    Dosage:

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

    Direct inoculation:

    • Pour the yeast on the surface of 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).

    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.

    Shelf Life
    4 years from production date.
