Which yeast is good for apple cider?

[trbig]

My first cider batch was made with champagne yeast... Aweful.

My second batch was with Safeale 05. Better, but still not what I want.

I'm looking for something that only goes to @ 8-9% alc tolerance and doesn't taste aweful so I can add enough sugar to still have a bit of sweetness to the cider, but if you have a yeast stall out due to the limits of its alc. tolerance, how do you get it to eat your priming sugar and carbonate? (Using bottles, not kegs)

An English yeast sound like what you want.

I you want sweetness with carbonation, you'll have to add some unfermentable sugar like sacchrine or Splenda. There is also a tutorial here somewhere about pasteurizing cider while it is still sweet.
