Fermentation / General Question

[Rich711]

I would like to know about keeping some extra yeast on hand for situations where the fermentation has failed or stalled. What good flexible yeast with a long shelf life should I keep on hand, for re-pitching situations that would be a good choice for a wide variety of beer styles?

Thanks - Rich

Go with a neutral dry yeast. US-05 come to mind.

I like to keep a couple packets of Nottingham in the fridge for exactly this reason.

I have a couple of packages of S05 and S04. They will keep in the fridge for a couple of years, so I always have them on hand.
