Does anyone use it to make beer. Cause in spirits I know they use is to make neutrals so that would mean a neutral yeast wouldn't it
Don't subject your beer to inferior yeast that is not intended to produce beer.mrsupraboy said:Does anyone use it to make beer. Cause in spirits I know they use is to make neutrals so that would mean a neutral yeast wouldn't it
I use honey I get from my FIL, a commercial apiarist near Mildura. I haven't seen it harvested. I'd appreciate the process more if I had, I'm sure.TimT said:Mead is quick, easy and the honey is free, so I'm less invested in it.
Danwood, by that I'm assuming you mean you have a beehive, so the honey is 'free' because you can just take it. Well yeah sort of. That's where we get our honey from too but for me that makes it even more valuable. The bees collect this stuff over months of hardwork, are willing to die for it (when they sting they die), and taking it out does quite some damage to their carefully tended hive. So bloody oath I want to make the best mead I can!
Yes bought 400g off cb last month. I don't want to risk contamination,the bakers yeast is free.Spiesy said:Call me crazy, but I use yeast nutrients for yeast nutrients.
Soylent Green for yeast hum...Scooby Tha Newbie said:Snip
I've read on here about adding used beer yeast in the last ten minutes of the boil to give the yeastes some extra nutrition.
Is this true?
And could I add bakers yeast for this.
It's more general interest Tbh as I'm **** scared of getting a bread yeast outbreak in the brewery.
Pretty sure it's used a fair bit for jao and was used a fair bit maybe as early as 70s for HB beer.dent said:ITT: noone who has brewed with bread yeast.
That's it, one of my cubes is getting a 1/4 tin of Lowan's finest. I'll report results in a couple weeks.

Which type of beer? I'm just thinking along the line of something like a S23 would not make a nice IPA, not the yeasts issue, just mismatched to the beer style. I think Lowans could make a good drop in something like an Aussie Pale, even thinking bread-iness with Marris Otter, or possibly in a Belguim style? I don't think it would be good on a lager. I guess knowing the strains taste will come in handy after the first batch. The chemist from Lowans said it is grown on a molasses substrate, and recommends fermenting at 30c (yes thirty Celsius). The ferment temperature could also lean the beer style into Saison world.dent said:ITT: noone who has brewed with bread yeast.
