Hi folks 

Wondering what the expected Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen (YAN) level 
should be for apple juice for good fermentation into hard cider? I 
understand with wine it's around 200 mg/l.  Is it the same for hard 
cider?  Also is the level different for "old world cider" and "new 
world cider"?  What's the effect of using too much yeast nutrient (eg 
DAP) on the taste/flavour of the finished product? 

Thanks.
