Gold Active Brewing Yeast
£1.75More information
The yeast rehydrates at 20°C and therefore simply requires sprinkling onto the surface of your wort - no need to stir - and the yeast will rehydrate and activate within just a few hours.
The yeast has excellent crusting characteristics forming a firm 'jelly like' deposit at the bottom of the fermenter and bottle or barrel.
Flavour profile is excellent and the yeast has the ability to drop out of suspension very rapidly.
There is a major benefit if you are bottling your beer. When pouring your beer you will not disturb the firm yeast sediment and therefore can fill your glass safe in the knowledge that it will be a clear bright pint.
This benefit also applies when you are siphoning your beer from the fermenter into your bottles or barrel. Once again the firm crusting characteristics will ensure that you transfer all of your beer to your bottles or barrel and therefore will not waste any.
This yeast is supplied in 6g sachets each of which sufficient to brew five U.K.gallons. -
Standard Active Brewing Yeast
95pMore information
This hardy yeast strain will tolerate a wide range of temperature variations during fermentation.
It is good for fermenting beers which include sugar but I recommend the use of the Muntons Gold Yeast for 'all malt' kits. Muntons Standard Active Yeast will struggle to ferment some of the more complex sugars which are more prevalent in all malt recipes.
This yeast is supplied in 6g sachets each of which sufficient to brew five U.K.gallons.
