beer making instructions and suppliesYou 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.
White 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.
