Yeast Resource???

[FxdGrMind]

Ok, I've got a question for the Yeast Connisours (sp?)...

Is there a resource that describes the "Gazillion" types of yeast and their uses/qualities/fermentation activity etc etc.

Something like:

S-04: English ale yeast, ferments cleanly at a fermentation temp 59-63, fements with banana flavors at temps 68-72. Fermentation in the low range happens usually within 12 hrs and requires a full 10 day's to ferment a 5 gal batch. Fermentation at higher temps (68-72) gennerates viggorus fermentation and will complete a 5 gal batch in 3-5 day's (caution... blow off tube recomended).

(this is an example only not some documented quality of S-04)


I'm looking to start working on my own recipies this fall, and a resource like this would be a great help in my endevor.

The Wyeast, White labs, and Fermentis websites have this information.

also fermentation time is determined by the size of the beer, not strain of yeast.

I mean the east play a part but.

I love the Wyeast style guide and use it all the time. But I also use Beersmith from time to time when choosing a yeast as it seems to have a majority of the Wyeast, White, Fermentis info all rolled into one place... but the information in Beersmith is less complete than the manufacturers pages.
