Dry Yeast for Ales
We recommend pitching a minumum of 10 grams of dry yeast for a 5 gallon batch of beer or wine.

Coopers Ale 7 grams
Good to very good reputation. The Coopers is quite fruity fermented at 65° F. It's not phenolic at all and all the flavor is a very clean fruitiness.
item #3004
the price $1.50

Munton Ale 6 grams
Starts quick. Produces some fruity esters. Attenuative. Fair to good reputation. It is reported that a phenolic taste is no longer a problem due to some strain changes.
item #3006
the price $1.00

Nottingham Ale 11 grams
This yeast is remarkable for its high degree of flocculation. It settles out very quickly and firmly. Very good reputation. Quick fermentation at 62° F. It's very clean and only very slightly fruity in the keg, but tastes/smells nutty in the bottled version. Nottingham appears to be relatively attenuative (more so than the Coopers). Fermentation range: 65-73° F
item #3008
the price $2.00

Windsor Ale 11 grams
Produces a beer which is clean and well balanced. This yeast produces an ale which is estery to both palate and nose with a slight fresh yeast flavor. Very good reputation. Not as quick as the Nottingham. Definite banana smell at racking. Fermentation range: 65-73° F
item #3010
the price $2.00
