No matter which yeast you use it will ferment to dryness
So if you want a sweetish sparkling cider you will need to use an unfermentable sweetener such as lactose or low calorie sweetener such as splenda :thumb:
The best yeast is White labs WLP 775 but it's around £6 a go, the next best is probably Youngs cider yeast.

i used young cider yeast on mine and it turned out ok :thumb:

I used Saflager W34/70 on mine and it fermented out to 1.000, rather than the usual 0.996 of Cider and Wine yeasts . . . means that its not quite mouth puckeringly dry

I put on another 23L batch of turbo cider yesterday so within the next ten days or so I will have few samples of second generation WLP 775 cider yeast to send out if any one is interested :wha:

PM me an address to send it to if you are :thumb:
