Wyeast 3766 Cider
Wyeast 3766 Cider
Crisp dry fermenting yeast with big, fruity finish. Creates a nice balance for all types of apples, pears and other fruit or fermentables. Allows fruit character to dominate the profile.
Notes
option: place walnuts on cookie sheet (spread out flat) in center of oven at 325 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes. This will give slight toast/nuttiness to the brew when placed in a secondary fermenter and allowed to ferment on the (nut) bed for 10 to 15 days. Use nuts from an organic/health food store.
