You 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.
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.
ANTI-FOAM
AGENT 6 gram packet $1.20
A powdered, food-grade silicone used to reduce excessive foaming during
fermentation. Add up to one gram of the Anti-Foam powder per gallon
of beer or wine prior to fermentation to prevent foam from pushing up and
clogging your airlock. It can also be added during the boiling stage
of brewing to prevent messy boil-overs! The Anti-Foam will not affect the
finished flavor, appearance or head retention of your beverage. Use
1 gram per gallon.
