You
can't make beer without it. The world is full of yeast but brewer’s
yeast is special in that it is cultured specific for brewing. The complex
flavors of beer come from the type of yeast used. Brewer’s yeast has two
classifications. Ale yeast and lager yeast. Liquid
yeast is available in pure cultures designed for making specific beer
styles. Dry yeast is a dehydrated form of either ale or lager yeast. It
is the most convenient form available.

Labs Pure Strain Liquid Brewers Yeast White
Labs liquid yeast is designed to be used directly in 5 gallons, or "pitchable".
Once
again White Labs has improved homebrewing by increasing the cell count
in each vial of fresh brewers yeast. The new cell count is an average
of 100 billion cells per tube. One vial will
usually start fermentation in 5 gallons with in 5-15 hours at 70°F.

NOTTINGHAM
ALE $1.30
Selected for its highly
flocculant and relatively full attenuation properties. It produces low
concentrations of fruity and estery aromas and has been described as neutral
for an ale yeast, allowing the full natural flavor of malt to develop.
Good tolerance to low fermentation temperatures, 57°F, allow this strain
to brew lager-style beer. Recommended 57° to 70°F fermentation
temperature range.
MUNTON'S
ALE $1.25
It
has very hardy characteristics and will tolerate a wide variety of temperature
variations during fermentation. For recipes demanding the use of sugar
our Standard Yeast is ideal. If all malt brewing is undertaken we would
recommend that you use our Premium Gold Yeast as this yeast will struggle
to ferment some of the more complex sugars in all malt recipes.
MUNTON'S
GOLD $2.60
Has
excellent crusting characteristics forming a 'jelly like' deposit at the
bottom of the fermenter and bottle. The yeast has the ability to drop out
of suspension very rapidly. When pouring your beer you will not disturb
the firm yeast sediment and therefore can fill your glass with clear bright
beer.
