Is brewing yeast the same as baking yeast?
No. Brewing yeast strains are chosen for how they ferment beer: how much sugar they use, how clean or fruity they taste and how well they settle out. Baking yeast is bred to raise dough. The brewer's yeast sold as a health supplement is inactive and will not ferment at all.
What is the difference between ale and lager yeast?
Ale yeast ferments warm, around 18 to 22°C, and produces the fruity, complex flavours behind pale ales, IPAs, stouts and porters. Lager yeast ferments cooler, around 10 to 15°C, for the clean, crisp finish of pilsners and European lagers. Many home brewers make their lagers in the cooler months.
Should I use dry or liquid yeast?
Dry yeast is the easier choice for most home brewers. It has a longer shelf life and is more forgiving than liquid yeast. Every yeast in this range is a dry sachet.
Which yeast should I start with?
SafAle US-05 is the most versatile dry ale yeast and a reliable starting point. It ferments clean and neutral, so it suits pale ales, IPAs and amber ales and lets the hops lead.
How long will my order take to arrive?
Metro: usually a few business days. Regional: often a bit longer. You get tracking when it leaves the warehouse.
