I was lucky enough to get a batch of #2 yeast from my friends at Colorado Sake recently. I’ve been I interested in trying out some yeasts that are very uncommon here in the states and was interested in working with this one because of the higher acidity sake the it makes. It makes me think that it may be the better choice for yeast for the El Colorado Red Sake that i have made in the past.
today I added the final rice addition and so far the sake has a very strong cider aroma with a tart green apple taste. Looking forward to seeing how it develops and ages over the next month or so.
