Wrong yeast... Oh no

[Owly055]

Wine yeasts will suppress beer yeasts......... There was an article about it on the net somewhere, but I can't find it anymore. As I recollect, there is only one wine yeast that will co-exist with beer yeasts "peacefully"......... I tried it at one point and it worked fine. I don't recall what wine yeast that was............ It gave the beer a slightly different character.

There are a few of them, and to anyone who is interested there is a very interesting BN podcast about that subject here.

I think it's D-47 thats not "killer". But I'm not positive.

The "non-killers" are 71B, 1118, 1116(k1B), GRE, BM45 if my notes serve me correctly.

EC-1118 a non killer????????
You certain of this?
Even if it is a `non killer` i would assume it would `out perform` so many other yeast strains that they couldn't really do anything/survive.....but i've not tested this so only a theory.

Ahh, 71B is what I was thinking of. Damn, good call!

However, 1116 was one of the first killer strains identified, and I thought 1118 was a killer strain too?

Those are from my notes of the podcast I linked above, check it out, make up your own mind

Some of these could be finishing strains I suppose. I only have my quick notes here on my phone, my notebook with the better notes is at work. I might just re listen to it and find out now, it's a great episode.

Ok, to correct myself- only 71B is not "killer" ( that's what I get for not having my full notes here, sorry!) all others are killer and all beer yeast (for all intensive purposes) is "susceptible" meaning that in a kill or be killed world... They die. The other 4 (as well as L2226) can be used as finishing yeasts, to eat up remaining sugars to dry out a beer a bit more and to add some pretty nifty esters that might be hard to replicate otherwise.

I apologize for my bad information earlier, but I am happy I got to brush up on some of that episode, very informative!

The beer actually turned out decent, not good by any means but not a total loss... Clearer than picture frosty glass, but head retention is lacking as it finished very very low 1.006, so its thin

A different note I dont think I like the falconers flight 7C's hops... Every beer ive done hasnt been that great, maybe ill dry hop and not ise it as bittering next time
