Yeast
The influence of beer yeast in
the making of beer is often underrated. It is a very important part
of the process. No part of the beer goes untouched by the yeast.
And every beer yeast differs from another in many qualities. Yeast
ferment at various temperatures, metabolize more or less sugar,
settle out at various rates, and contribute different aromas and
flavors to your beer. Unfortunately beer yeast may also come laden
with bacteria which may impart off flavors to the beer. Yeast comes
in two forms, liquid and dry. The dry yeast is more convenient to
use since it may simply be added to the beer when you make it. It
also stores well so you may keep it around till you need it. Also,
it is usually less expensive. Liquid yeast, however, is usually
purer, comes in more varieties, and gives you finer control over
the flavor of your beer. We definitely prefer the liquid beer yeast.

White Labs Liquid Beer Yeast
Pitchable! White
Labs yeast is convenient to use. Each vial contains 30-50 million
cells. All strains are tested for purity. The yeast can be pitched
directly into the wort. No starter is necessary. Activity is seen
in 6 – 15 hours. To use, keep refrigerated until brewing.
Remove from refrigerator and allow to warm to room temperature.
Shake vial, open carefully and pitch into wort between 70-78ºF.
Call for a yeast brochure or ask us for recommendations on a style
of beer your intend to make. Keeps up to a year, though use before
4 months is recommended. Descriptive brochures of the yeast strains
are available in the Shop or by request. $6.50 each
