Good Dry Ale Yeast

Review by Tim M. on 3/10/2008

Pros: This one seems cleaner and more dependable than most others I have used (60+ brews). Not quite as good as liquid but does a nice job for bitters.

Very Worthwhile

Review by Chad on 8/22/2006

Pros: Produces a nice fruity ale with a lot of British character. Very good quality.

Cons: None that I can think of.

A Great Yeast for your English Ales

Review by Michael J. on 3/6/2006

Pros: Even though this doesn't attenuate quite as much as the US-56 or Nottingham, it produces a softer finish, making it a better choice when your trying for an ale more in the British style. Much like US-56, this starts up nicely and has an even, steady fermentation activity profile. I also recommend always rehydrating your dry yeast in ~95 deg.F pre-boiled water for 15 min. prior to pitching for best results.

Cons: Not really any, but consider using US-56 if you're looking for a cleaner, more "American" style ale. If you need to go the other way, and are looking for an even softer, fruitier finish, consider trying Cooper's.
