Any reports or opinions on this yeast yet Gents?
I'll be checking fg of my cider in the next couple of days. Had a disaster with a leaky fermenter (pinhole in the bottom of a 60l job) and had to drain one batch in with a later batch. Lost about twenty litres and have ended up with 60-70 litres all up.
The first batch had fermented down close to zero, but the second was still over 1010.
Initial taste test from the hydro sample was extremely good. B)

We are doing 3 batches, a 5 litre scrumpy and 2 x 25 litres with yeast.
One yeast batch finished at 1000 and is in secondary, tasted very dry on racking, but showing promise.
The second yeast batch is nearly finished primary.
The scrumpy was slower to start and just cruised through ferment, quite a bit slower than the yeast batches. On racking it was as dry as the others but maybe more complex?
See what they are like in a few months. :drinks:
