Frequently asked questions about SafCider AB-1
How much must does one sachet treat?
Fermentis recommends 20–30 g per 100 litres. One 5 g sachet is therefore enough for approx. 17–25 litres.
What temperature should the cider ferment at?
AB-1 ferments between 10 and 30 °C. For cider we recommend 10–15 °C and a steady temperature.
How long should the cider ferment?
Give the cider at least 6 weeks, preferably 8 or more. Cider benefits from a long maturation.
