5 Litre Cider Yeast question

[ASYLUM_SPIRIT]

Hey

I'm quite an experienced All Grain BEER Brewer, having a little dabble in Cider.

I'm thinking of doing a small 5 Liter Batch of Cider using organic apple juice.

I'm using Mangrove Jacks M02 Cider yeast, 96 net weight.

The directions on the yeast say: Sprinkle contents directly on top of 23L of juice.

I'm only using anywhere from 4- 5 Liters of juice and would seem like I'm over pitching. I was wondering, would I be able to use half the packet of yeast and vacuum seal and keep the other half for next time.

Whats your thoughts?

Thanks for the help

Yep. Have done just that in the past, just not with that yeast.

Cool Thanks mate good to know.

if that wasn't recommended I was going to wash the yeast and use it again.

If one pack of yeast is good for 23L then surely 1/4 of a pack is good for 5L, half might be over doing it

Half is good, usually you technically need more than one packet for 23L
