I’ve been brewing mostly ciders and cysers with 10 packets of cote de blanc I bought last year with wonderful results (in my opinion). I just used the last one on an apple-honey-habenero concoction. Anyone have a good recommendation for yeasts that bring out fruity flavors?
The choice of yeast should be influenced by what you want the end result to taste like.
For my champagne-like ciders with oak and based on belle de boskoop juice I use EC-1118. For my sweeter ciders backsweetened with erythritol I use Nottingham Ale yeast. For my summer-cider based in Discovery & Red Aroma apples and crab apple juice I do a wild ferment.
So the question is more - what are you trying to accomplish?
