Which yeast for the GB cider?

[bighoppapump]

Hi,

I have done a lot of reading about the different yeasts available and recommended for the group buy cider. I am new to making cider so I'm not going to go down the au natural route so I'm trying to choose between 3 yeasts I have.

I have 3 sachets - notty, s04 and safcider.

I have read they are all good in their own way but could anyone lend a more experienced word on which is most suitably to leave residual apple flavour and which is bested suited to a medium dry style?

I am leaning towards s04 at the moment.

In a recent blind trial Notty came out the best.

If you have more than one container then try a couple of different yeasts.

Cheers for the advice
Was this the test brewmaster ben done on youtube by any chance?

Your so4 and notty are different strains of the same yeast, (saccharomyces cerevisiae).
Your safcider is a different strain altogether (saccharomyces bayanus). If that helps.

I did 3 ferments last night one natural. Two with saccharomyces cerevisiae (all very happy this morning) that said if i had have had a packet of bayanus i would have done four ferments. Anywayway best wishes with it.

I ended up going with Notty. I sprinkled it on top rather than rehydrating it as I was in a bit of a rush but I think it should be fine.

And now the wait begins.......
