Wyeast Liquid Yeast Packs are pure liquid yeast strains for brewing a wide array of your favorite beer,wine, mead and cider.  Using them is an effective way to improve the quality of your homebrew and is essential for "cloning" many styles of Ales, Lagers and Wheat beers.  Wyeast Activator packs contain so many yeast cells they can be used straight out of the package without making a yeast starter.  Unlike any other pitchable on the market, The Activator is the only one that comes in a double foil bag called a "smack pack."  When activated the inner foil pouch breaks open and releases nutrients that start the yeast working.  You will see the pack start to swell within hours providing proof of life before you pitch it into your wort!  That is peace of mind any brewer will appreciate.

The Wyeast Activator provides:
• 100 billion cells of pure liquid yeast.
• Recommended pitch rate profesionals use
• Dramatically reduced lag times.
• No need for a yeast starter.
• The only package that provides essential fatty acids and micro nutrients for a healthy and complete fermentation.
• When activated, yeast metabolism begins, providing proof of viable active yeast ready for brewing.
• New easy-to-use instructions!!!!

Private Collection for July, August, September 2008

Celebrate a Saison Summer with Wyeast Laboratories Private Collection. This release of three special Saison strains will be available July through September. Saisons benefit from higher fermentation temperatures which makes this the perfect beer for your summertime brewing activities. Wyeast 3711 French Saison is a highly attenuative strain that will leave your beer with a silky and rich mouthfeel. Wyeast 3725 Biere De Garde is a low to moderate ester producer with a subtle spiciness. Finally, Wyeast 3726 Farmhouse Ale produces complex esters which are balanced with earthy and spicy notes

Produces saison or farmhouse style biers that are highly aromatic with clean, citrus-esters, peppery and spicy with no earthiness and low phenols.

Wyeast 2450PC Denny's Favorite 50

This terrific all-round yeast can be used for almost any style beer and is a mainstay of one of our local homebrewers, Mr. Denny Conn. It is unique in that it produces a big mouthfeel and helps accentuate the malt, caramel, or fruit character of a beer without being sweet or under-attenuating. A great yeast for extract brewers and for fruit beers.

Flocculation: low
Apparent attenuation: 74-76%

Wyeast 3763PC Roeselare Ale Blend

A blend of lambic cultures including lactic bacteria. Produces beers with a complex, earthy profile and distinct pie cherry sourness from a Brettanomyces culture. Aging for up to 18 months is required for full flavor profile and acidity to develop. Will produce a very dry profile due to super-attenuative nature of mixed cultures

Flocculation: variable
Apparent attenuation: 80%+
Temperature range: 65-85˚F (18-30˚C)
