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

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
