2025年2月15日 · When these packets are fresh, they are a HUGE pitch for sure, but they are way too expensive, and the viability just drops off a cliff after 4-6 months even kept refrigerated. Everyone I know that doesn't have access to a local homebrew shop is moving away from liquid and towards dry yeast.

2017年6月20日 · Same with your scissors. Dispense yeast then fold the flap over a few times and seal with a piece of tape or a small bulldog clip. Put inside a new ziplock baggie, and seal. Store your dry yeast in the freezer, it keeps better that way, for years, even opened and sealed half packs. Make sure your hands are clean and sanitized too when handling ...

2009年2月24日 · I was reading in How to Brew, to use 2 packets of yeast, yet in other places i see just one. If I am using dry yeast packets from my LHBS, how many packets do I need for a 5 gallon batch? Also, if I am using one standard 3.3 lb can of LME, how many pounds of DME should I be adding to create a...

2012年4月23日 · Much more than 2-3 packets of dry yeast for a 5 gallon batch. The yeast you buy in the grocery store is the same Saccaromyces species of yeast we use in brewing. However, the particular strains in bread yeast are selected because they make dough rise quickly.

2011年9月19日 · Obviously the higher the gravity, the more cells he recommends pitching. Unless I misunderstood, he seems to be talking about liquid yeast only when making a starter. My question is, can you make a starter with rehydrated dry yeast, to boost your cell count, or would you just use more packets of that dry yeast to get the same effect?

2021年12月29日 · I am going to brew a 5 gallon batch of Kolsch but my dry yeast is expired. Due to my location it could take 2 - 4 weeks to get new packets of yeast. I currently have 2 packets of LalBrew Premium Series Kolsch Style Ale Yeast by Lallemand that expired October 2021. I will be using yeast nutrient...

2008年4月23日 · Picked up ingredients from the LHBS for a steeping/extract trippel to be brewed this weekend. I got home and realized the dry yeast packets they gave me (S-33) expired in April 2009. Assuming the yeast packets were kept refrigerated the whole time, will they kick in and do their job? Or should I brave the traffic and get newer yeast?

2020年8月4日 · Your dry yeast will be fine- this is the major advantage of dry yeast! It can survive MUCH higher temps at a MUCH longer time than liquid yeast. (Liquid yeast will die very quickly if allowed to warm.) The second great advantage of dry yeast is it lass for quite a while- like years- without losing (much, if any) viability).

2012年3月25日 · As the prices on yeast continue to rise, I have started to gather the gear for yeast farming in earnest. At the rate prices are climbing your'e gonna have to do something to cut the costs soon anyway. Grow youre own yeast and hops and save around 10-15 bucks a batch, buy bulk grain and save another 5 to 10 too.

2009年12月11日 · So for my first batch, I decided to use two packets of S-04 yeast as an insurance policy. I figured, I wouldn't have as many concerns about lag time or strong enough fermentation. I'm planning out my second batch, a porter (OG ~1.050) and was wondering if it was worth pitching two packets again.
