However, it's a very robust and reliable yeast strain. If you keep it stored in the foil packet at room temp it can stay viable for a long time with robust and reliable fermentation kinetics. Just don't expose it to air. It will lose viablity. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Go to bottle priming yeast *by C***G on July 18, 2025* Super sugar eater everytime ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Hard Cider! *by J***. on May 3, 2026* This my go-to yeast whenever I make a hard cider.
