3 Review(s)

A well-known English ale yeast, selected for its fast fermentation character and its ability to form a very compact sediment at the end of the fermentation, helping to improve beer clarity. This yeast is recommended for the production of a large range of ale beers and is specially well adapted to cask-conditioned ales and fermentation in cylindroconical tanks. High sedimentation. Optimum temp: 64°-75° F

Excellent Yeast Review by Brooke

I use this for stouts & porters. Works just as well as liquid yeasts, for half the price of liquid yeasts, and you don't have to worry about the yeast dying if you aren't home to get it in the fridge when your delivery arrives! (Posted on 12/27/11)

If I had only 1 yeast to brew with, it would be this one. So versitlie, you can make most american, and English beers. Fermentation, is so fast, and complete, you can make a fantastic IPA in a week.
There is no deviation in esters, or fermentation character from pack to pack, perfectly consistant results every time. If you need a beer quickly, or if a beer you have made is stuck. S-04 is the Animal that works. Will fully ferment out in 3 days at 65F. Vigorous fermentation will take place 6 hours after pitching. (Posted on 10/20/11)
