[Qs]

Why do so many of the yeast companies have contradictory info on their packets and their sites. Really annoying.

[Leann ull]

If it's a champagne strain yer grand but I'd be afraid it wasn't and then you'd have wasted your money and be dependant on natural yeast.

I dunno sure we'll have to wait and see. Might have a look online and see how other people got on with it.

The MJ craft series booklet (I think we got it at brewcon) says the recommended temperature range for the M02 cider yeast is from 12-28 degrees!

Just to be clear for everyone and I have said it on several occasions now allowing AJ to ferment naturally has an element of risk. I know you big boys and girls and can make up your own minds.
I even do 10% all natural but don't cry if it's goes wallop.
All the commercial guys use commercial wine or champagne yeast or some will risk it depending on the weather and if they believe there is enough  yeast left on the fruit.

Sorry, I see I'm just after repeating Qs' post

When you say wallop do you mean the yeast packs it in too early and FG is too high? Or that it might taste like cider vinegar?

Also do you know what affects the amount of yeast on the fruit? Cold weather?

rain washes it off, not all natural yeasts are right for fermentation

Mj cider yeast is bubbling away nicely now

Pitched rehydrated MJ M02 into each of my ciders last night, on top of the Notty that was already in there, just to see if I get something a bit more interesting... Sure what could go wrong

My house smells like Clonmel.
