Yeast for Brewing Beer
Beer yeast comes in many different strains and can even be a combination of different strains. This means that you can pick a strain of yeast for making beer to compliment the beer style you are brewing.
Yeast don't just ferment sugar to alcohol, they also help flavour the beer. Some beer yeast add a spiciness to the finished beer, some add earthy tones, some add fruit flavours of plums or even tropical fruits like mango.
Yeast also help pull the flavours from the hops if you are dry hopping. And also help transform flavours via a process of biotransformation. Basically they eat sugars and other compounds in the wort and as they digest them they transform them into new flavours and compounds.
Yeast can also affect the way the beer feels in the mouth. Some yeasts can make the beer feel thin, some can add body and some can even help make the beer feel dry.
Years ago, there were only a few strains of beer yeast, now we have a huge range of yeasts for making beer, and this has helped the range of beer styles grow too.
So, when choosing your beer yeast, think about what beer you are making and then choose a yeast to suit your beer style.

You will have the fermenter foaming all over the floor and walls but you will have the real quality that you want .
Made fruit wines of all types for years and on some as a hobby , had a go last year base level wine kit and so so ,a bit sweet ok if you only want to get well oiled . But this added to a kit is wow for a nearly sixty year old wine drinker just try adding half the bottle to your next 30 bottle kit you will never go back.
Very good works a treat.makes the wine look professional and attractive to the coinesseur.
I made my first ever wine, blackberry wine using this bag after following David on his Youtube video, great product, less mess and easy to use. Thank you David for your help and support with my order.
Easy kit to brew. Pleasant, very refreshing apple flavour ideal for lazy summer days in the sun. Very impressed and intend to try others in this range.👍
A very good kit supplied by a very reliable supplier
, it's a great favourite of all of my friends when we have a get together.
I found this lager to be a light and refreshing lager with a pale colour. It doesn't have the strong taste or hoppiness of a pils type beer. It is very, very easy to drink. I made it with 1.5Kg of sugar and this resulted in an ABV of approximately 5.2%. One of my favourites!
This really suited me. If you like American IPA, this is a cracker. Ordered more

My wine kit arrived quickly and I set to work straight away. The instructions were very easy to follow. I've made a lot of wine before but don't think I would have had any problem even as a beginner. My wine was completely fermented within one week and it could have been ready to drink but I decided not to use the fining gels but rather to let it clear naturally. It took just over one week for this to happen. The wine has a pleasant taste and very light coloured appearance. It was ready to drink right away. It tasted like grape wine. It's been so long since I drank commercial wine I can't comment on how it compares to a commercial Chardonnay. The taste was a little weak for me so in future I would add less water. I've had commercial wines that tasted much worse than this. It had a smooth taste without any rough edge. I would recommend this kit and would be happy to use it again.
As usual, perfect service, great price and swift delivery. Never had a bad deal or had any reason to find fault. Thanks Guys!
Brilliant product , my wife loves it. Easy to make and clears like gin. Recommended
quick delivery and easy to make
Unfortunately the first order went to someone in another local village never to be seen by me.
The company send me another.
No problem using these just use a hairdryer to shrink onto the bottle.
Great to use and label our home made wine.
