yeast questions

THEDIETZ · Sep 16, 2008

so I see random recipes and some do not have yeast suggestions. My question is how do you know what kind of yeast to use with what you are brewing. Does anyone have any good information or an article I can read so I will know what style of yeast I may want to use with different beers I am brewing. thanks in advance and I look forward to learn much more about yeast!!!!

It really depends on what style beer you are making and there is generally not one type of yeast that needs to be used. Here is a good website to get an idea of what yeast you might want to use to match up with a particular style.

If you are brewing just a traditional ale and don't know wtf to use...Safale US-05 will usually get the job done

Yeah. Safale US-O5 or While Labs WLP001 or Wyeast 1056 are all fairly neutral and will work for many different ales. Unless your brewing something that requires a specific strain, like a hefe for example, one of these will do fine.
