Flor Tips

  • First indicator of film yeast is seeing what looks like an oil slick on top of the cider.
  • Film yeast will chew up oxygen.
  • If it goes on for more than a couple of weeks you will lose aromatics.
  • Acetobacter will form film yeast that is more bubbly and it will eventually form vinegar.

How FieldBird manages "Flor"

1. Over top the barrel, because film yeast will float.

  • Plunge into the barrel and allow the film yeast to overflow out of the barrel
  • That barrel will get capped and topped off every week.

2. Bottom rack.

  • Go right to the bottom of the barrel and take everything and leave the top couple of inches behind.
    • There is a substantial difference in the flavor depending upon where you are pulling the cider out of the barrel.

Respond quickly - because of acetobacter growth and loss of aromatics.

Luckily, 9 out of 10 times the cider isn't impacted.
