Brewing Yeast

Yeast is not the last thing you add, it is half the recipe. The same wort pitched with two different strains gives you two different beers, one clean and one full of fruit and spice. Buying fresh, keeping it cold and pitching enough of it will do more for your brew day than most equipment upgrades.

For clean ale, Fermentis SafAle US-05 and Lallemand BRY-97 American West Coast Style are the everyday choices, while SafAle S-04 at 11.5 g leaves a little more character. Lallemand Nottingham is the neutral workhorse. For lager, Morgans European Lager Yeast 15 g is the one most people reach for, and Morgans Premium Ale Yeast 15 g is the budget ale option. If you want a bit of personality, Lallemand Voss Kveik ferments warm and fast, and Wildbrew Sour Pitch is there for souring. Beyond beer, Mangrove Jacks Craft Series M05 is a mead yeast, Mad Millie ginger beer and ale yeast comes in a three pack, and for washes there is Alcotec 48hr Turbo Yeast, Fermentis SafSpirit M1 Whiskey and Still Spirits Premium Brewing Yeast 5 g, with Alcotec Turbo Klar for fining afterwards.

Keep your sachets in the fridge, not in the brew cupboard. Warm yeast ages fast, and an underpitched batch is a slow, sulphury one.

Fresh stock at Laverton North and Epping. See also malt and grains, hops and brewing salts and nutrients.
