Frequently Asked Questions
What type of yeast should I use for beer?
Choose ale yeasts like SafAle US-05 for clean, hop-forward beers, or lager yeasts like W-34/70 for crisp, cold-fermented brews.
Can I use wine yeast for mead or cider?
Yes. Strains such as EC-1118 or D47 are excellent for mead and cider due to their high alcohol tolerance and clean finish.
What is a SCOBY culture?
A SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) is used to ferment tea into kombucha, producing a naturally carbonated, tangy beverage.
How should I store dry yeast?
Keep yeast sealed and refrigerated when not in use. Avoid exposure to heat or moisture to maintain cell viability.
