One of the best ways to improve home brew is by using liquid yeast. Yes, it does cost more money but many home brewers swear by the quality of these yeasts, including ourselves. The Wyeast packages contain a small inner packet containing the yeast . Outside of the yeast is a solution of sterile beer wort. By breaking the small inner packet the yeast mixes with the wort and the yeast begins to ferment. All varieties are sold as the large Activator Packs which do not require making a starter culture prior to use.

We have tried to assemble the best selection of dry yeast available. We highly recommend re-hydrating dry yeast. This is accomplished by adding the packet of dry yeast to a cup of 80°F water and stirring until dissolved. By re-hydrating your fermentation will start faster and you are less likely to have problems during fermentation. Prices for individual packages.
