Anyone used Safale S-04 Yeast with Muntons Beer kits?

[ECLIPSE]

After having numerous stuck fermentations with Munton's Premium Gold kits, I'm wondering if the above mentioned Safale S-04 yeast would be a good replacement for the yeast which is supplied in the kits?

Has anyone else tried using this strain of yeast with any of the muntons kits? If so what were the results?

Also what temp range is best for using Safale S-04 with an extract kit? I have had off flavours before due to fermenting at temps of 22 C and above and would like to prevent this happening again.


Cheers

S-04 is a solid fermenter. However, you might try yeast nutrient to see your fermentation through!

Keep you temps below 21 especially at the start that is the most critical time. I tend to ferment at 19-20c. :thumb:

Thanks for the advice guys. I will invest in some yeast nutrient for future brews and give it a go with some S04. Hopefully it will play nice with Minton's premium gold kits!

Edit: which yeast nutrient would you guys recommended for use on Muntons kits with S-04?
