S-33 Yeast

[FazerPete]

I noticed CraftBrewer had S-33 yeast on special for $0.90 the other day.

I've never used it so can anyone tell me what it's best used for and if it's any good? I haven't seen it in any other online or local shops so I was curious.

The yeast is a type that can withstand high alcohol conditions and used for T.rappist style or Belgian style beers.

can anyone tell me what it's best used for?

One word "Mild". I've used this yeast quite a bit to make Milds due to its low attenuation.

and if it's any good?

It's tops. I use it in a thoroughly trialed recipe and it has passed the test of friends, family and extremely picky HBers.

I like to make a lot of heavy english style ales and high alcohol toucan mixes so it sounds like it would be pretty good from what you are saying.

For that price I think I'll have to stock up.

Weyermann recommend its use in quite a few styles of beer, including, Kolsch, Stout & weissbier.
