Are they notoriously bad yeasts? I used a Safbrew S-33 in my last batch because that's what came with the kit. After brewing was done I started reading up on this yeast and read experiences of people saying it kicks off very rapidly and comes to a hard stop after about 2 days. Sure enough I had the same result and very poor attenuation. With the product advertised as high attenuation and alcohol tolerance(even on the HBT wiki) The beer turned out very sweet and pretty gross with some harsh off flavours, so needless to say I'm skeptical of using Safbrew anymore.
Now I ordered some new kits and it seems they come with Safbrew t-58. Soo I ordered a couple sachets of Nottingham Dry Ale yeast on the side with my order and am thinking of using that instead. The beer kit is a 5.25 gallon Belgian Strong Dark Ale.
Anyone have experience using the Safbrew S-33 and/or T-58 or any other Safbrew yeast and how were the results? Should I go with the T-58 because the Nottingham is no good for this style beer?
