I always keep three or four packs of safale 05 in the fridge. Would a yeast nutrient be needed for a cider?
The Safale 05 is perfect, I have used it several times. Another good one is the Wyeast 1968 London ESB ale yeast.
And I always add about 1 tsp yeast nutrient to whatever I brew. Even if it doesn’t get used by the yeast, it will break down during a month or so aging.
