Dry Brewing Yeast
Individually packaged for 5 to 6 gallon batches.

Muntons Ale Yeast - 6 Grams
Munton's standard yeast will tolerate a wide variety of temperature variations during fermentation. It is ideal for extract recipes, however Muntons recommends Premium Gold yeast for brewing with all malt, as Standard Yeast will struggle to ferment some of the more complex sugars which are more prevalent in all malt recipes.
Qty: Price:$1.19 

Muntons Gold Yeast
This yeast has excellent crusting characteristics, forming a firm 'jelly like' deposit at the bottom of the fermenter and bottle or barrel. Flavor 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 due to it's firm crusting. This benefit also applies when you are siphoning your beer from the fermenter into your bottles.
Qty: Price: $2.29

Coopers Ale Yeast
This fast-attenuating yeast produces a balanced flavor profile and has strong flocculation characteristics. Under normal fermentation conditions its use will result in a clean, rounded flavor profile comparable to commercially produced beers. Coopers Ale yeast is packaged in nitrogen-flushed, thermal resistant foil packages under a reduced oxygen environment to maintain its viability and shelf life.

 Danstar Yeasts
Nottingham strain was selected for its highly flocculent (precipitating) and relatively full attenuation (transforming sugar into alcohol) properties. It produces low concentrations of fruity and estery aromas and has been described as neutral for an ale yeast, allowing the full natural flavor of malt to develop. Good tolerance to low fermentation temperatures, 14°C (57°F), allow this strain to brew lager-style beer. Recommended 14° to 21°C (57° to 70°F) fermentation temperature range.
Windsor  ale yeast originates in England. This yeast produces a beer which is estery to both palate and nose with a slight fresh yeasty flavor. These are usually described as full-bodied, fruity English ales. Depending on the substrate, the Windsor demonstrates moderate attenuation which will leave a relatively high gravity (density). Recommended 17° to 21°C (64° to 70°F) fermentation temperature range.

Safbrew S-33 by Fermentis. Safbrew S-33 is a very popular general purpose yeast, displaying both very robust conservation properties and consistent performance. This yeast produces superb flavor profiles and is used for the production of a varied range of top fermented special beers (Belgian type wheat beers, Trappist, etc.). Sedimentation: medium. Final gravity: high. Also recommended for bottle-conditioning of beers. Excellent performance in beers with alcohol contents of up to 7.5% v/v but can ferment up to 11.5% v/v. 10 Grams
Qty: Safbrew S-33 Price: $1.79
Safale S-04 by Fermentis. Safale S-04 is a well-known, commercial English ale yeast, selected for its fast fermentation character and its ability to form a very compact sediment at the end of the fermentation, helping to improve beer clarity. This yeast is recommended for the production of a large range of ale beers and is specially well adapted to cask-conditioned ales and fermentation in cylindro-conical tanks. Sedimentation: high. Final gravity: medium.
Qty: Safale S-04 Price: $1.99
Safale US-05 by Fermentis The most famous ale yeast strain found across America, now available as a ready-to-pitch dry yeast. Produces well balanced beers with low diacetyl and a very clean, crisp end palate. Sedimentation: low to medium. Final gravity: medium.
 Qty: Safale US-05 Price: $1.99
Safbrew T-58 by Fermentis. Safbrew T-58 is a speciality yeast selected for its estery somewhat peppery and spicy flavor development. Sedimentation: medium. Final gravity: high. Also recommended for bottle-conditioning of beers. Excellent performance in beers with alcohol contents of up to 8.5% v/v but can ferment up to 11.5% v/v.
 Qty: Safbrew T-58 Price: $1.79

Saflager S-23 Lager Yeast
A true dry Lager yeast. This bottom fermenting yeast is originating from the VLB (Berlin) in Germany and is known under the code RH. The strain is used by Western European commercial breweries and has been reported to produce lagers with some fruity and estery notes. Sedimentation: high. Final gravity: medium.
 Qty: Price: $2.49

General Directions for Brewing Beer with Dry Yeast

Rehydrate using either sterile water or wort at a ratio of 10 times the weight of yeast to be used. Mix gently to form a cream and allow to stand for 15-30 minutes. Then mix vigorously and stand for a further 30 minutes prior to pitching into the wort. The temperature of re-hydration is important (80 Degrees F. for Ales, Safbrew and Safale, 74 Degrees F for Saflager).

An alternative method is to sprinkle dry yeast direct into the wort and allow to stand for 30 minutes before mixing to distribute and aerate the wort.

To achieve the correct pitching rate use one package per 5 gallons of wort for ales. Use one package for lager when fermenting at room temperature and two sachets for lager when fermenting cold, due to the lower temperature and slower growth of lager strains.
