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.

Liquid Beer Yeast

Wyeast Liquid Beer Yeast

The yeast comes as an “Activator 125 ml Activator Smack Pack”. Each yeast is good for 5 gallons of beer. The yeast is best if used within 6 months of the manufacture date, and it must be refrigerated. Descriptive brochures of the yeasts are available in the Shop or upon request.

Erlenmeyer Flasks

Erlenmeyer flasks work great for making yeast starters. A yeast starter is a "mini-batch" of beer that allows your yeast to multiply before you pitch them into your full batch of wort. Making yeast starters is highly recommended when brewing high gravity ales or when brewing lagers.

Before adding dry yeast to your beer, it can help to rehydrate it. Soak the yeast in 6 oz. of 95-100 F. water for 15 minutes. Add it to the wort before ½ hour has passed. Each package sufficient for a 5 gallon batch.
