Aug 6, 2015 at 3:22 comment added Trigger Yeah, pretty much fro BJCP point of view. The guide only specifies the type of apples (even though regular or baking apples would do the trick), and keeving... I couldn't find much info on yeasts... Champagne or wine yeasts are usually used, but it doesn't seem to be a standard... So what about using french saison yeast? Still French :)
Aug 5, 2015 at 19:38 comment added Pietro do you mean restrictions from the style guidelines, or what would actually work to ferment the cider to your liking? If the former, I'm guessing the French pedants would have a problem with it. :-)
