SafCider™ AS-2 Cider Yeast – Rehydration & Best Practices for Cider Fermentation

SafCider™ AS-2 is a professional cider yeast developed for reliable cider fermentation, preserving fresh fruit aromas and producing balanced, elegant cider. Correct yeast rehydration is essential for healthy yeast activity, consistent fermentation and optimum cider quality.

Direct Pitching of SafCider™ AS-2 Cider Yeast

This is the quickest and simplest method for starting cider fermentation.

Sprinkle the cider yeast directly onto the surface of the apple must using at least ten times the yeast weight in liquid. The yeast may be added directly into the top of the fermentation vessel or during tank filling after juice clarification.

Stir gently to avoid clumping and ensure even distribution. Transfer immediately to the fermentation tank with aeration or homogenisation for optimum yeast activation.

Recommended Rehydration of SafCider™ AS-2 Before Pitching

Rehydration maximises yeast viability and ensures a cleaner, more controlled cider fermentation.

Add the yeast to ten times its weight of clean water at room temperature. Stir gently until fully dispersed and allow the mixture to stand for 20 minutes to activate the yeast.

Add the rehydrated yeast to the apple must and ensure sufficient aeration or mixing for a vigorous and even fermentation.

Best Practices for Cider Fermentation with SafCider™ AS-2

  • Use the recommended cider yeast dosage
  • Ensure good oxygenation at the start of fermentation
  • Avoid excessive temperatures during rehydration
  • Maintain excellent hygiene throughout the fermentation process
