What yeast should I use?

[brettwasbtd]

A lot of us have trouble determinining what yeast to use and I believe part of that is cause there are so many choices! This is why I went about compiling all the yeast data out there into a searchable table.

Some of you may have already seen the thread I started in the Fermentation and Yeast forum, but I wanted to place the link here, as well as put up some pictures, so it might help more people like it has me.

All of the yeast strains have a description field which is visible when you hover your mouse (double tap on mobile) over the yeast name. If the yeast manufacturer included style recommendation than it will be included in this bubble as well.

Use the search bar to search for style like Conan, the famous yeast of The Alchemist's Heady Topper, or a style like American Lager to narrow down your options. Where applicable there are also comparable strains by other company's if your local home brew shop does not carry a particular brand.


Searching for Conan

Searching for American Lager

Searching for any yeast that compares to or references WLP002

Please take a look and let me know if I missed anything so I can keep the list up to date.

Look good. Always looking for comparison charts. Have you looked into Gervin and Mauri yeast strains? Im not sure how common they are across the pond but theyre quite common, IMO, in the uk and good all round strains

I will look into these as I haven't heard if them here. Thanks!

I've seen it spelled " Maori", when referencing the natives of NZ. Is the yeast from NZ or thereabouts?

From their website they're from Australia.

I've only used they're wheat beer yeast and its the best dried strain I've come across but that's my taste and opinion

I just got a blocker from google about that link. Malware attackers are infesting the site & might download some nasties into your computer....
