I use this yeast. Usually buy a tub for about ÃÂ£6 off eBay which lasts me a year. I make lots of wows with it and turbo ciders, although recently using cider yeast sachets with sweetener for tcs which I prefer. A good reliable yeast though and never fails for me. Hope this helps..

im glad to hear it works - but what sort of abv were you able to achieve ? i have just been using ec-1118 champange yeast for my turbo ciders as it will really keep powering through the sugar so it comes out to my liking of taste

have you thought about adding your own sweetner eg lactose as brewing yeast cant break it down

I use it on my wow to achieve 12% ish with no problems. As for sweetener in tc I used to just add 2 tsp of granulated silver spoon sweetener per 500ml at the bottling stage which worked out fine..

Oh why would you use lactose as a sweetner? I Pity those who might have an intolerance to it that you feed your cider to..lol

it was just an example for a type of sugar that wouldn't get broken down

and unfortunately my body doesn't love lactose so no practical for me
