Muntons Premium Gold Yeast ????????????

[tazuk]

any body used this yeast yet if so wot was it like and in wot type of AG brew ??????

The yeast rehydrates at 20°C and therefore simply requires sprinkling onto the surface of your wort - no need to stir - and the yeast will rehydrate and activate within just a few hours.

The yeast has excellent crusting characteristics forming a firm 'jelly like' deposit at the bottom of the fermenter and bottle or barrel.

Flavour profile is excellent and the yeast has the ability to drop out of suspension very rapidly.

There is a major benefit if you are bottling your beer. When pouring your beer you will not disturb the firm yeast sediment and therefore can fill your glass safe in the knowledge that it will be a clear bright pint.

This benefit also applies when you are siphoning your beer from the fermenter into your bottles or barrel. Once again the firm crusting characteristics will ensure that you transfer all of your beer to your bottles or barrel and therefore will not waste any.

We ran a yeast trial last year at the Scottish Craft Brewers where Muntons Gold was one of the five yeast used within the trial. If you want to read the results of the experiment then you can read my write up: http://scottishcraftbrewers.org/?p=675.

I used it in all my gluten-free ersatz ales and my millet experiments. Seems to work. Don't have anything to compare it with though.
Used half a packet in a TurboCider last week, just to see... Fermented nicely but won't know how it's worked flavourwise for a few more weeks though.
