Looking for yeast for making hard cider? SafCider AS-2 is ideal for producing sweet and complex hard ciders. This strain produces a fresh aromatic profile - apple, citrus and applesauce notes - and a sweet, round mouthfeel.
SafCider AS-2 is a moderate to fast fermenting yeast strain that is suitable for difficult fermentation conditions. AS-2 has a wide, flexible fermentation temperature range of 50-86ºF so you can ferment hard apple ciders year-round in warm or cool weather. This cider yeast also has low nitrogen requirements, meaning it doesn't require added yeast nutrient (nitrogen) for an efficient fermentation.
