Graff from a kit - Yeast

Post by CJR » Sun Apr 13, 2014 12:03 am

Hey everybody,

I'm just wondering about what yeast I should use?

I've ordered a £15 Wilko apple cider kit and a bag of BKE (contains maltodextrin etc.) from their 25% off all homebrew promo and I'm wondering what yeast to use. The options are:

1) Yeast that comes with cider kit.
2) Brewer's ale yeast from work - Heard it might impart more body
3) Any suggestions? There is a LHBS nearby.

I was going to suggest D-47 which I have used a few times and then I started looking and came across this page that I thought was of interest for you to read.
