Hi, been lurking for a while, picking up tips and enjoying the banter. Was going to sign up earlier tonight to concur in the K+K post after someone put together the rousing intelligent discourse on equal rights for kitters.
Anyways, onto topic. After being inspired to put down a brew tonight, I came to the realisation that I hadn't read the packet properly and the yeast I planned using was an S-23, not a 56. (Note to punters out there; less sampling of previous batches during preparation of new batches).
So, on hand I have a K-97, which I could use, but also a Cascade 'Bohemian Yeast' (according to the pack). It came with a Cascade Imperial Ale, so I'm assuming it's an ale yeast but figured, I'd ask here to be sure, given it flew all the way from your fair shores. Is it an Ale yeast? And, if so, is it a decent yeast or one of the normal 'under the lid' yeasts?
I normally steer clear of the things under the lid, hence it was in the fridge as I used another yeast in that brew.
What do you reckon, K-97 or the Cascade? Also have a basic muntons yeast.
Thoughts, answers and recommendations welcome.
Cheers.
