Beermaking Yeast

Lots of different yeasts! We know how to spoil you! The yeast makes a big difference to your homebrew. Kits will benefit from having a different yeast, try adding Safale US 05 to an IPA !

 Make sure any yeast you buy has been factory packed, yeast that comes in home made packaging can be contaminated by wild yeast strains. It's not worth the risk for saving a few pennies.

!

All our yeast are packed at the factory under their stringent conditions. As always don't forget to add an item to your favourites if you're going to buy it again!

Muntons Gold Beer Yeast

!

The yeast rehydrates at 20°C and therefore simply requires sprinkling onto the surface of your wort - no need to stir - and the yeast will rehydrate and activate within just a few hours.

The yeast has excellent crusting characteristics forming a firm 'jelly like' deposit at the bottom of the fermenter and bottle or barrel.

Flavour profile is excellent and the yeast has the ability to drop out of suspension very rapidly

There is a major benefit if you are bottling your beer. When pouring your beer you will not disturb the firm yeast sediment and therefore can fill your glass safe in the knowledge that it will be a clear bright pint.

This benefit also applies when you are siphoning your beer from the fermenter into your bottles or barrel. Once again the firm crusting characteristics will ensure that you transfer all of your beer to your bottles or barrel and therefore will not waste any.

Nottingham yeast has good attentuation and is highly flocculent, fermenting well at lower temperatures. It has a   fairly neutral effect on the beer but may reduce bitterness slightly due to its good settling properties.

Recommended temerature is 14 to 21 c , and will ferment out to 1004 in four days on a standard beer.

Good all round beer yeast

Danstar Windsor - Good fruity beer yeast

!

We've found that this yeast benefits from rousing a couple of days after fermentation has started, if you prefer a sweeter beer then leave it alone!

Lallemand Danstar Windsor ale yeast is an English ale yeast.   It keeps the delicate hop  aroma well .

The main properties of Danstar Windsor yeast is it's tendency to stop fermenting quickly and leave all the luciuos and full bodied maltiness of the beer.

It doesn't settle very well and takes a while to clear, it's said to have moderate attenuation and be none flocculent.

Gervin Real Ale Yeast- for 5 gall/25 litre

!

Always a popular yeast, tends to drop out a bit so you need to stir it up after three days.

It's a nice  yeast for bottling and sticks on the bottom of the bottle nicely without picking up.

Gervin ale yeast comes in a full 11g pack and it's packed by Muntons so you know it's top quality. It's the best value of the special ale yeasts and we use it a lot

Cider Yeast Enough for 5 Gallons

!

A yeast to make cider with...

The old books recommend Champagne yeast, it does work but starts a bit too slow and ferments out very dry. This is better for normal ciders, if you're going for high alcohol and adding loads of sugar then use the Champagne yeast

There's enough for at least 5 gallons of cider. If you make just a gallon probably half the packet will be enough but it won't hurt if you chuck the  lot in.

There isn't really a cider yeast, most of them are just beer yeast with an artificial sweetener in them. We've chosen this one because it sets off fast, you need that because the apples start fermenting as soon as you press them. It settles down nicely as well.

We don't think you should be adding artificial sweeteners to your cider so there's none in this yeast!!

 

Brewferm lager Yeast

!

Tub of all purpose beer yeast 100g

!
A 100g tub of all purpose beer yeast
It's a fast starting and nicely clearing beer yeast.It says on the instructions a teaspoon a gallon but we find a big teaspoon will do 5 gallons easily. It's best if you use it up fairly quickly once it's opened. It's a good all purpose yeast but if you're after constant quality you're better off with the sachets
