    Diastaticus in Belgian Yeast

    It truly depends whom you talk to or which questions you ask - as Milk The Funk posts exactly the opposite answer regarding M29 - "Confirmed to be Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus.

    Hoping Windsor will drop gravity

    FWIW, co-pitching Windsor and Notthingham sequentially is advised by Lallemand, quoting from their catalog:

    Seeking very low ABV yeast for Kvass and "soda" experiments...

    Kvass is traditionally made using sourdough bread starter, with emphasis being made on lactic fermentation, so regular bread yeast plus lactic starter will do in a pinch. In order to meet the low ABV specification (about 1.2%) , fermentation is terminated prematurely by chilling until the yeast...

    Banana flavor

    There's a nice article in the German brau!magazin - Brewing Bavarian Weissbier — all you ever wanted to know, which details aspects of brewing banana-driven vs. clove-driven weiss. Probably most important points are: yeast selection (WY3068, WLP300 or Lallemand Munich Classic would be a good...

    Raising Yeast Attenuation with Step Mashing?

    Big thanks to everyone for their replies. I think I wasn't focused enough with my question. It goes without saying that there are many ways to influence yeast attenuation in general via mashing programs, which usually affects fermentability via wort dextrin content. The specific aspect that...

    Raising Yeast Attenuation with Step Mashing?

    There's a recipes section at Castle Malting website, many of which are using low-attenuating yeast such as T-58, S-33, which struggle with maltotriose sugar. I just recently realized that there are quite a few unusual things about these recipes. Take for instance their Leffe Blond clone...

    Gozdawa Yeast?

    I have some Chico and Bavarian Wheat from their eBay shop, didn't have a chance to try them yet. It's a polish brand, not sure who manufactures the yeast for them, but quality-wise should be ok. Feedback I've seen on other forums was solid. Their lineup somewhat matches that of Fermentis, so I...

    Crossmyloof Brewery Yeasts

    CML Belgian Yeast and Saison is most likely same yeast too, same as MJ M27 Belgian Ale from the old catalogue, that became M29 French Saison, as well as (presumably) M41 Belgian Ale and M31 Belgian Tripel.

    Crossmyloof Brewery Yeasts

    I wish it to be true, but then here's one example: In the old catalogue we have: M20 Bavarian Wheat Yeast, described as "A classic top-fermenting yeast suited for brewing a range of German Weizens as well as Belgian Witbier", In the new one, separately, sharing exactly same characteristics...

    Crossmyloof Brewery Yeasts

    It's a well established fact that both MJ and Bulldog yeast are manufactured by SPL (http://spl-int.com), whose OEM catalogue only included the following yeast: Bavaria Wheat | Belgian Ale | Bohemia Lager | British Ale | Burton Union | Newcastle Dark Ale | Universal Beer | US West...
