SafCider AS-2

Fresh aromatic profile (apple, citrus) with nice elaborated fruit notes (applesauce) bringing a good overall complexity. Sweet and round mouthfeel.

Please note that those observations are based on French cider recipe trials.

SafCider AS-2 ensures a very good assimilation of fructose and excellent for low gravity ciders.

Technical Characteristics

• Very good settlement strength even with its sensitive to killer phenotype
• Regular to fast kinetic
• Broad fermentation temperature spectrum: 10-30°C (50-86°F)
• Low nitrogen requirements: Ratio YAN**(mg/L)/Sugar(g/L) >0.7
• Good assimilation of fructose
• Maximum initial SO₂ level recommended: 100mg/L and low production of acetaldehyde and SO₂
