Observations on Yeast




Here you can see Nut Up or Shut Up Brown Ale in the carboy fermenting vigorously. My complete observations thus far:

Dry yeast costs around $4.00 for a packet which will be enough for a 5 gallon batch of beer. It begins fermenting in an hour or less.

Liquid yeast costs around $7.00 for a vial enough for a 5 gallon batch of homebrew. It takes 12 hours to start fermenting.

As soon as I am able to brew two batches of identical beer with the two types of yeast, I will make further observations.
