Just thought I would see what some others perfer as their yeast of choice. I have been using smack packs of wyeast and making starters and the whole deal. My opinion is what a pain! Ive been doing this because I thought liquid had to be better than dry because it just lloks and smells healthy right out of the pack,and thats what the majority seem to use on the forums.
I recently used some us-05 on a kolsch and its fermenting away nicely. Seemed to get up and running way better than liquid for me. I just rehydrated 30 mins. before I was ready to pitch and that was it. Very simple and is fermenting way better than any liquid batch Ive ever done.I have it in my basement and thermo on side of carboy is reading about 72.
Im def. not knocking wyeast or any other liquid yeast,but I think dry is the way for me from now on unless I need the yeast character to shine thru for specific beers.What are some of your opinions??
