Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between liquid yeast and dry yeast?

Liquid yeast typically offers more strain variety and expressive fermentation character, while dry yeast is shelf-stable and convenient. Liquid strains often provide more nuanced flavor profiles for specific beer styles.

Do I need a yeast starter for liquid yeast?

For high-gravity beers or older yeast pouches, a starter is recommended to increase cell count and ensure healthy fermentation. Fresh double-pitch strains may not require one for standard 5-gallon batches.

How should I store liquid yeast?

Store liquid yeast in the refrigerator between 33–38°F. Do not freeze. Use within the recommended timeframe for optimal cell viability.

What happens if my yeast arrives warm?

Yeast viability may decrease if exposed to heat during shipping. We recommend adding insulated mailers and ice packs during warmer months for best results.

How do I choose the right yeast strain?

Select yeast based on your beer style, desired flavor profile, fermentation temperature range, attenuation level, and alcohol tolerance. Each product page includes detailed performance specs to guide your decision.
