Anyone use this yeast? Couldn't find any info on it, but I picked up a pack from my LHBS. Picked a ton of apples and plan on making cider with it.
I just bottled a batch of pear cider brewed with this on 9/7. I pitched it dry and I got about 75% apparent attenuation (1.046 to 1.011) from it.
No worries.
I tasted some at bottling-time and it was pretty dry; drier than I'd like, but not excessively so. I'll try to give a follow-up when I pop a bottle open.
How are you judging your carbonation?
Is this visual? Mouthfeel? Looking at the amount of foam produced? Cider doesn't really have head. But I find the super sugary commercial ones almost do. But even one of my overcarbd bottles still didn't cause that issue
Two days later the Wyeast is going great but the two five gallon batches are looking flat. They had a little bit of foaming activity in the first 24 hours but went flat fairly quickly.
