White Labs WLP775 English Cider Yeast: Classic Fermentation for Crisp, Traditional Ciders
Ferment Hard Cider with Balance, Complexity, and a Clean Finish
White Labs WLP775 English Cider Yeast is a go-to strain for crafting traditional English-style hard cider with a balanced profile and crisp character.
