First attempt at using an all juice method ,have done a couple using the can stuff with half juice ect,thought I'd produce a better cider if I cut out the stuff that I don't really need ,thanks for the heads up.

I used Wyeast Danish Lager yeast ,Thanks for the heads up t.l. !
I was more concerned about the purity of the malt against what was what,I thouhgt wheat malt may have husks or some kind of small contaminant thay could effect the yeast or possibly kill it off ,but alls good thanks again.

I've been chasing a good cervaza and have started trying a couple of different brands in search of the best one that will become part of my regular brews.I started off with the ol coopers mexican cerveza kit,1pkt be #2 and 23gs of hallatau hops.
