Cider Taste For 2 Batches Of Coopers

[Adamt]

Use two packs for a single batch, that will help it.

One of those Coopers yeast packs is a little less than enough yeast and that's only if all of the yeast are viable. After hte yeast is strapped to a hot-packed can of extract, then shipped around everywhere in awful conditions, it's a surprise anything survives!

That's good to know. I'll try the next two Coopers kits - my remaining from a sale - with different yeast. I'm a Scot though so I can't toss the yeast that came with the kits, I have 4 packs of it. Any suggestions?!

You can boil them in a bit of water and then pitch them (when cooled) before you pitch your yeast. Turns it into a yeast nutrient.
