2X Mangrove Jack's Yeast Cider M02 Craft Series Yeast 9g Treats 23L

worked fine to make alcohol. I had lots of apples and made cider, which I turned into apple cider vinegar. I used Corn Sugar, because I was turning it into vinegar later anyhow. I would typically use brown sugar for good cider. This fermented the apple juice great to about 15% alcohol. I can't attest to the taste, like I said, I used corn sugar, and it was very sweet alcohol. Once I oxidized it into the vinegar, it's an excellent "apple" tasting vinegar.

I've used this cider yeast now to make several batches of hard apple cider and also peach and it does a really fantastic job. I first started using wine yeasts as I also make wines and meads, but was not really too satisfied with the results in that much of the fruit flavor seemed to be stripped at these lower abv brews. I decided to give this yeast a try and I'm really happy with the results. I get a nice, dry cider that retains a lot of the natural fruit flavor with no bitterness or "young" taste, with a really good aroma.The yeast drops really well and forms a nice solid cake if you leave it to clear for awhile, so racking is very easy. I know this brand has some variations and I'm anxious to try a couple more because this one really impressed me with repeated, excellent results.

Made a cider this past fall with this yeast. I've used several other kinds of yeast (WLP 775, SafCider, Mangrove Jacks M02 to name some) in the past and this is as good as any of them. Seemed to ferment cleanly and quickly...and completely! My FG was 0.998 (from 1.056, 7.35% ABV). The picture shows the cider being a tad hazy, but I think that's more from the spices I added at kegging...the original cider was crystal clear.

It was fine. No complaints.

I usually use red star champagne (yeller pouches). Gave this a try to see if there was a difference with the esters etc. One thing people should know is that a yeast alcohol tolerance does equate to the alcohol content of your brew. The alcohol depends on how much sugar is present. So a yeast could be 18% and you might only put 8% worth of sugar. An original gravity tool is something to invest in.I noticed it is a little slow to get started and did take longer to finish. I ended up with some activity in secondary fermentation. Overall it ended up clear and palatable. I did wind up with some yeast in my bottles as I opted not to transfer to an additional secondary to clear it out after the fermentation finally stopped.

A commonly recommended cider yeast that works well for apple cider

It works great makes a great cider using it to bruise easy just keep it cold and add it to apple juice. It even works well with grape juice.
