Wyeast Cider and Mead Yeast

The strains recommended for use in fermentation of apple and pear juice have been tested for performance in our lab, and selected for their positive sensory attributes in fermentation of cider and perry.

Wyeast Laboratories, Inc. produces a variety of 100% Pure Liquid Yeast™ cultures for production of sweet and dry mead, metheglin, braggot, cyser, melamel, and pyment. The strains recommended for use in fermentation of all varieties of mead are typically wine yeast strains, however, some ale strains are also appropriate.

Since honey, apple, and pear juice like and even more so than grape must, is deficient in nutrients essential to proper yeast cell growth and metabolism, additional Wyeast Vintner’s Choice Nutrient Blend is recommended.
