Liquid yeast makes better beer.

Yeast can have a major effect on the flavour of beer. That is why commercial breweries go to great lengths to maintain and culture their own unique yeast strains. If a commercial brewery were to change its yeast, their customers would recognize the difference and it could become a fiscal disaster for the brewery. Most home-brewers don’t realize how much yeast contributes to the flavour of their beer. By using pure liquid yeast cultures you have much more control over the final taste of your beer. Liquid yeast is available in many different strains and is quite easy to use, but it does need at least two days preparation before you can use it. Liquid yeast won’t make a bad beer good, but it can turn a good beer into a great beer. Please contact us if you need more information.

Your Questions Answered

My wine smells like rotten eggs! What happened? What you are smelling is hydrogen sulphite gas. This is a natural byproduct of fermentation. Some yeast strains are notorious for generating excessive hydrogen sulphite gas. Most good quality wine kits use yeast strains that produce very small amounts of this offensive gas. If you use one of these better kits you should not have a problem. If a “rotten egg” smell is detected, it may often be eliminated by early racking and aerating of the wine while the fermentation is still in progress.
