Yeast
Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2017 3:56 pm
Hi All,
I'm a confirmed brew from scratch fan and in the past I've managed to obtain live yeast for my brews from commercial breweries, having had less than satisfactory results with dried yeasts. As a west Wiltshire resident I had until recently got my yeast from Wadworth's in Devizes but lately they haven't been responding to my email requests so I guess their policy has changed. So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for an alternative brewery from where they've sourced some yeast. Failing that, I was going to use Wyeast, as advertised by one or two online homebrew shops. Can I expect as good a result with this as I have had with Waddy's yeast (and Greene King and Tolly Cobbold when I used to live a bit further east)?
Regards, Gerry
