Maischewerk Meadow Orchard Set for up to 200 Liters of Apple Wine & Cider: 4 × Cider Yeast, Anti-Gelling Agent 500 ml, Yeast Nutrient Salt 1 kg, Sulfur Powder 10 × 10 g

From a meadow orchard, a few hundredweight of apples and pears quickly add up. The meadow orchard set is intended for barrels and large demijohns: it contains yeast, enzyme, nutrient salt and sulfur for up to 200 liters of apple wine or cider, in pack sizes that match this quantity.

The four packets of Cider Fresh ferment apple and pear juice fresh and fruity; according to the manufacturer, the yeast works at 12 to 20 °C and ferments vigorously even below 15 °C, just right for a cool autumn cellar. One packet is enough for 10 to 50 liters: for 200 liters you use one packet per 50 liters, which is the upper limit; if you calculate 25 liters per packet, the yeast is enough for 100 liters. You stir in the anti-gelling agent after crushing, so that the mash breaks down better and you get more juice; it works faster in warmth and is destroyed above about 55 °C. For the yeast nutrient salt, the manufacturer specifies 50 to 100 g per 100 liters; for apple wine and must 2 g per 10 liters is enough, i.e. 40 g for 200 liters, at most 3 g per 10 liters (60 g for 200 liters, the upper limit of the German guidelines for wine-like drinks); the rest is kept in reserve.
