Do you know how it turns out? Everything I had read points to yeast productivity dropping off significantly beyond 15psi (for beer anyway).wobbly said:At the risk of incurring the ire of some on this forum WilliamsWarn detail fermenting cider under pressure at 1.5bar using Fermentis SO4 yeast at 23C

So to answer your question Air, a cleaner quicker ferment. It is also fun playing with toysAirgead said:My main question would be why? What advantage would you see in fermenting under pressure? Apart from being able to use a shiny piece of kit...
I only drink cider very very occasionally and have never brewed one so I can't offer any comments based on any personal experience. The stuff that I have read indicates that fermenting up to 3 bar will not detract from the yeasts ability to do its job. Above 3 bar and it will fail to do the job. Using the WilliamsWarn system fermenting up to 2.5bar has not resulted in any detrimental ferments for me (to date)blair said:Do you know how it turns out?
