Hi mate,
Was just reading through some other cider forums to try to find if anyone has used Philly Sour yeast in cider, but not much here... did u ever give it a crack?
I've only ever used kit ciders, but have brewed and fermented sours, and really loving them (currently got 2 fermenting with lime+pineapple and passionfruit+pineapple), but am keen to give cider a go using maybe apple juice and ginger but doing one witha yeast usually used in cider and another with philly sour. I'd love to hear if you've got any advice?

I'm currently experimenting with this on a small batch (2Gal). I'll keep you posted if you haven't already gave it a go.

Porter_Stout I have tried Philly Sour so I can’t comment.
I have used Imperial’s Sour Batch Kidz with great success. However, at 100% it’s waaaaay to strong. I blended it w traditional cider at a rate of 85% cider and 15% sour cider. Prior to blending I heated the sour batch in a pan to pasteurize then blended.

You may want to consider making a traditional batch to blend w the soured.

so it has finished the ageing and its amazing. the malic and lactic acid blend nicely. i used Kroger's brand juice 1 gallon and 1 oz. corn sugar. i kept it still next batch will be carbed up to see how the carbonic acid effects the taste

Sounds good. How long did you age it?
