Description
A cider strain picked for balance rather than volume: fresh apple and applesauce notes, low acidity, low ester production and a very good appetite for fructose, plus up to 1.5 g/L of malic acid consumed. Fermentis publishes no attenuation figure for the SafCider range, so the band here is what its rating for dry cider implies. Killer-sensitive but settles hard all the same.
