Anyone tried the Steam yeast yet? How does it compare to the Kolsch? Have some extra pale malt and plenty of citra.
I got one for my next brew a cali common. ..bit obviously not used!
I know I am late to this party but what is the general opinion of these yeasts ? any good? real ale any good?

I've used the real ale yeast for two brews now (one sachet for each). It started fermenting in less than 6hrs from pitching and was very active. I would recommend them. I did follow the instruction and added the yeast to around half a cup full of tepid water (out of the kettle) before hand. :smile:
Yep, very good indeed. Actually outperforms my beloved Notty, and for less than half the price. Incredible! Mind you I've only tried the US Pale and Real ale. All I'm likely to with what I brew.
Wheat pitched yesterday was active within 6 hours...proper mess this morning,lid popped on the fv...climbing out!

I've only used the real ale yeast. Its fast fermenting as others have said (ferments out my ordinary bitters in about a week). Flocctuant but I wouldnt says a floccuant as notty and has a high attenuation. I 've used it twice and have got 81% and 83% attenuation based on 65C/66C mash temps. I dont get huge esters but I think there are some there
Just sent off for another five packs! Five packs for a fiver delivered! Don't tell 'em but they are practically giving it away.
Would you recommend it? I dont think there are "many" good dry strains of English yeast about.. just wondered if it was any good.

Will have to try the Ale yeast. I'm sold on the US Pale and the Kolsch.:thumb:
I sure would. I know perceptions of taste vary but to me it seems like a cross between Notty and Windsor with all the good qualities of the former and none of the bad ones of the latter, if you see how I mean.
Should have went for ten at under ã8 even better value...

I would say yes. I dont think it's as good as a liquid strain for say making a bitter but its a decent yeast for a dry strain

My Helles came out amazing with Kolsch yeast. Will be buying more definitely.

I know, but sometimes I'm just too damned tight for my own good. But what if I died or summat before using all 10?! The waste - sob!

I suppose businesses rely on customers like yourself for repeat business and giving them your hard eared cash to line their pockets and keep the economy going and give other customers their discounted bulk stocks.Is'nt life just a merrygoround.:whistle::thumb:
It sure is! Gonna bulk up next time, having decided to stick with this stuff. Still, can't complain I still think they're giving it away no matter how many packs ordered. Meanwhile I'm gonna trawl the net and see if anyone's doing 25Kg sacks of malt for under 15 delivered.
You'll be hard pushed there unless your buying bulk.I've bought 25kg for �ã17 from Geterbrewed but then you have delivery which is �ã4.50 for me and that's the cheapest I can find.I'm sure if you were able to find their supplies you may be able to get a bulk buy with a few local members within driving radius.My mate and I usually order in turns saving on postage which makes life easier.
Having a nosy round and prices are not that different.
