I don't care what anyone says...dry yeast rules!!!
Although I do wash yeast from batch to batch when I remember, and make starters on occassion, I was tired of spending $$$ on liquid yeast.
Tired of spending $$$, I recently bought a bunch of SafeAle, etc. packets to keep on hand.
I brewed the "house ale" recipie in the recent Northern Homebrewer catalog using BIAB and pitched a SafeAle S-04 English Ale Yeast after proofing it. Mother effer took off and was burping after 3.5 hours and was "boiling" after less than 10 hours!
Me = convert!!!!!!
