Yeast

Yeast influences attenuation, aroma, flavour, clarity and fermentation performance. Choose a strain suited to the style and temperature you can maintain.

Choosing yeast for all grain beer

• LalBrew Windsor suits many English-style ales.
• WildBrew Philly Sour offers a specialist sour-style fermentation.
• LalBrew Voss is useful for suitable warm fermentations.
• Check pitch rate, batch size and manufacturer temperature guidance.

A strain that works in your real fermentation conditions will usually give the most predictable result.
