Dried Yeast

Dried yeast should be considered for economy and ease-of-use. The primary disadvantage of dried yeast is that not all types of yeast can withstand the drying process (lager yeast, wheat beer yeast, special ale yeast). Dried yeast should be re-hydrated in about one cup of 90-110° F sterile (boiled) water for 15-30 minutes.

*Y021 Danstar Munich - German Wheat Beer Yeast

Strain used by a number of commercial breweries to produce Bavarian-style wheat beers. The propagation and drying processes have been specifically designed to deliver high quality beer yeast that can be used simply and reliably to help produce wheat beers of the finest quality. Quick start and vigorous fermentation, which can be completed in as little as 4 days above 17° C. Medium to high attenuation Non-flocculent strain; some settling can be promoted by cooling and use of fining agents and isinglass. Estery to both palate and nose with typical banana notes. Best used at traditional ale temperatures. Optimum temp: 55°-66° F

*Y004 Danstar Windsor Ale Yeast

Danstar Windsor ale yeast originates in England. This yeast produces a beer that is estery to both palate and nose with a slight fresh yeasty flavor. These are usually described as full-bodied, fruity English ales. Depending on the substrate, the Windsor demonstrates moderate attenuation that will leave a relatively high gravity (density). Optimum temp: 64°-70° F

*Y005 Danstar Nottingham Ale Yeast

The Nottingham strain was selected for its highly flocculent (precipitating) and relatively full attenuation (transforming sugar into alcohol) 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, 14°C (57°F), allow this strain to brew lager-style beer. Optimum temp: 57°-70° F
