  • SafCider - Fresh Pressed Apple Juice - Nutrients Needed?

    If I press fresh apples, bring it up to 180F for 30mins, chilled to 71F, aerated, FV set to 66F and SafCider added. Do I need to add anything else or is there sufficient nutrients/minerals in order for the yeast to survive?

    I added the yeast yesterday, this morning there was bubbles, and then in the evening the bubbles stopped.

    Starting 13P, it's now 11.2P with no activity.

    I'm thinking the yeast is lacking the proper nutrients and has stalled out.

    SOP for cider does NOT include heating. If you are adamant and must sanitize your juice, then use sulfites. Heating just ruins fresh juice (at least in my opinion). And yes, cider needs nutrients if you want a fast fermentation with cultured yeast. Read information on Scott Laboratories website. Great resource for cider making.
