CIDER PROCESSING
Renaissance Yeast is a leader in the development of classical crossbred (non-GMO) H 2 S-preventing Saccharomyces yeast, based on a unique strain of yeast. Renaissance has developed a full range of yeasts bred specifically for their favorable fermentation attributes in hard seltzer. Each strain has a proven lineage, and is metabolically incapable of producing hydrogen sulfide. Hard seltzer, produced with Renaissance Yeast strains, are bright, clean and have outstanding aromas with no trace of H 2 S.
