If there was only one yeast left on earth, and it was dry...?

[k1ngl1ves]

04 is used in more then half my beers. Easy choice.

 

[wiggybrewer]

Us-05

 

[IslandLizard]

I'd scrape some of that dried up Brett Claussenii cake off the bottom of my fermentor. Dry yeast, right?

Jeez, lighten up Francis....

Say more than one yeast.....I'll kill ya
An explanation with no yeast.....I'll kill ya
If you don't get with the program.....I'll kill ya

Half the people here have no idea what were talking about.
Lets start another poll

Don't say if you do

I am going to assume that if there is only one beer yeast left then we are in the post apocalyptic world. Then I would expect temp control to be non existent (for the most part). My choice would be Belle Saison.

If not the apocalypse then Nottingham.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Saccharomyces Cerevisiae.

I'd selectively train it's offspring to adapt to cooler wort for the colder months.

Someone should have thought of this by now. It could be the premise for a whole new industry in beer.

 

[k1ngl1ves]

I give up. I established the posting rules for this, my thread, and they are consistently being violated. Have at it, post what you will, and come to your own conclusions. I will no longer attempt to formally tally up any results.

We'll miss you!

Jeez, lighten up Francis.... Whaddya doing, collecting data on your honors thesis for Prepper school?

Am I the only one who thinks it is hilarious that his "I give up" post was removed?

 

[Whut]

When I used to brew it was US-05 98% of the time.

 

[mattech]

Nottingham.

But, BRY 97 is starting to earn its place in my brewery, it's pretty reliable.

 

[Maylar]

EC-1118 - it'll ferment anything, including beer.

 

[Silver_Is_Money]

Am I the only one who thinks it is hilarious that his "I give up" post was removed?

Yes, because it wasn't removed.

 

[Totally]

Wyeast 3711

I'd tell you why but....

 

[DoomRider]

Us-05

 

[casualbrewer]

Easy.... 34/70. Makes a good lager and if pitched in enough quantity can ferment at ale temps cleaner than ale yeast.

 

[Mainer]

Saflager S-23.
It brews clean at low temps and makes a nice grainy rustic ale at room temp.

 

[TX_Brewing]

Another for 34/70

 

[Mainer]

Saflager S-23.
It brews clean at low temps and makes a nice grainy rustic ale at room temp.

(Disclaimer: I've never used 34/70, and xbmt reports a statistical inability to distinguish between the two, so my vote for 23 could, by some, be considered a vote for 34/70.)

 

[Morrey]

Darn I am going to play by the "rules".

US-05

 

[dryboroughbrewing]

S-189 I'll need something like Samichlaus to nurse me through the apocalypse.

 

[Paps]

I give up. I established the posting rules for this, my thread, and they are consistently being violated. Have at it, post what you will, and come to your own conclusions. I will no longer attempt to formally tally up any results.

No offence but........
Did you really think for more than .00000000001 of a second that the people on here are capable of doing such a task? (as simple as it seems)

 

[normonster]

Yes, because it wasn't removed.

K. That explains it.

 

[Genghis]

US-05. All day erryday and twice on Sunday.

I'd go with s-04, its like the big toe of brewing.

 

[mongoose33]

OK, now you have enough different choices to do a reasonable poll. So do one which will allow people to pick only one yeast.

As for me, i don't know which one I'd pick....probably S05 or S04.

These kind of hypothetical problems make my head hurt, as there are tons of assumptions that must be accepted for the premise to be true. As in "will I have fermentation temperature control or will I not?"

I wasn't joking about the Fleischmann's - successive generations of yeast cakes WOULD adapt.....
