2 hour lag times (sometimes less), clean crisp flavours, versatility of styles and/or strains, and the credit for my overall success as a brewer; i laud, commend, and thank you.
i appreciate your wide variety of strains, but am still amazed by some of my personal favorites; 1275, and the simple, yet truly astounding and proven 1007. If I was stranded on the proverbial desert island, with only 1 choice of yeast to brew with, it would be 1007. It would make anything a person could find fermentable, taste great! heehee!!
The fact that the dry yeast industry is still in business puzzles me, account you fine people have taken the art to ethereal heights of purity and quality. None finer.
Now, after disattaching myself from your kissing your posteriors, I implore all brewers to understand that 90+% of doing it right, is yeast viability, and these people get it right, to the Nth degree.
Peace, Love, Tranquility;

Great Tech Support

“Yeast from Wyeast is very reliable: clean, pure, high viability, and consistent in its flavor profile. Besides that, however, is the customer support. If I have a low pitch rate, or a viability issue, or any sort of question or problem, the folks at Wyeast start helping to solve the problem instead of giving me the run-around or some kind of a knee-jerk defensive answer. When I need to solve a problem, I don't need a mini-lecture over the phone about whether or not I know how to do a cell count or test for viability. The folks at Wyeast are there to help and treat me with courtesy and professional respect. Wyeast is now my only yeast supplier.”

Happy with Activators!

Hello Candy,

I just wanted to let you know that we are very happy with the Activator packs from you. Our customers are less hesitant to buy liquid yeast when the starter is right in the bag and so easy. My customers are happy we changed from (another supplier) to Wyeast and so are we.
Cheers,
Lisa Pouillie

Yeast of Choice

Submitted by: Mark G
Wyeast has been my yeast of choice for several years. It’s the freshest yeast I can get and the smack pack always verifies its viability before I make my yeast starter. I’ve found that several of the Wyeast strains simply out perform their competition. My favorite Wyeast Strain is the Weihenstephan Weizen.

Strong Scotch Ale (Wee Heavy)

20lbs Golden Promise (Maris Otter will also do)
1lb Crystal 40L
8oz Crystal 120L
8oz Munich malt
8oz Honey malt
4oz Biscuit malt
1oz Carafa II

Mash 60min at 156°F. Mash out at 168°F for 10min.

Boil for 90min with the following addition(s):
60min: 28IBUs East Kent Goldings
10min: Wyeast Yeast Nutrient and Whirlfloc

Yeast: Wyeast 1728 Scottish Ale – Pitch a large (1gal) starter or better yet the slurry from a batch of Scottish 60/- or 70/-. Ferment at 65°F.

OG: 1.100 (65% efficiency)
FG: 1.030

I used the 3725 Bier De Garde Special Strain in August 2006 to make a Belgian style ale. The beginning gravity was 1.072 and the final gravity finished out at 1.002!!! 97% attenuation! Awesome yeast and the Belgian beer was great. Since it was a special strain and no longer available, I saved about 2 cups to use in a future batch.
Well, time flew by and my saved 3725 yeast lay dormant in the refridgerater until August 2007 when I brewed another Belgian style ale. I decided to give 3725 a try but just in case it was gone forever, I had another yeast standing by in reserve. Within 24 hours, the 3725 yeast took off and finished again with around a 90% attenuation! The Belgian is once again superb.

I am so impressed with this yeast. I have not seen any yeast perform like it and encourage Wyeast to produce it again so I can replace my aging supply.

Great job.
