Can all purpose yeast be used on cider

Can all purpose yeast be used on a cider kit?

 

[An Ankoù]

Yes it can. It's not ideal, but it'll work fine. Don't kits come with a sachet of yeast?

Yes I've done on the rocks peach and mango, was bubbling fine when started seems to have slowed right down after 2 days!

I have some all purpose yeast on standby...

I prefer to use either a specific cider yeast, or a general wine yeast.

But I also did a demijohn with bakers yeast last year & it still came out as cider.

I've never used official cider yeast. I've used wine, ale, and lager yeasts with good results.

Last 30L batch of cider I made I just pressed the apple pulp and let it get on with it naturally... resulted in a really good cider! What is amazing is there were alsorts of apples in there many badly bashed and bruised and all had worms in because I do not treat my trees. Cider its organic man

Kv-1116 will make the fruit flavour come through. Really quick fermentation and it suppresses wild yeasts.

Oh no. Are you saying yeast is not organic then

Yes, This is an interesting yeast. Sometimes known just as K1, it's a "killer" yeast.
Champagne yeast should be the best substitute, though. Aren't both Cider yeast and Champagne yeast members of the Saccharomyces Bayanus group?

I thought he was saying that cider is orgasmic, man!

 

[MashBag]

It is. Its also my emergency yeast of choice for restarts.

Stunner.

I always used bread yeast for cider now (fermipan) after I did a test. I thought it let more of the apple flavour through.

No just saying that when real cider is made you do not need to add anything at all to the must everything that is required for the process is already there. Sterile apple concentrate made into an alcoholic beverage will though. See below this is how you make cider

or how they do it in Normanday... which is even more organic
