which yeast for the great eastern

[anita]

I'm putting the great eastern on tomorrow but as Hubby like high strenght beer what will get me the best, I would also like nice taste, drinkable out come.

do I use the yeast in the kit or do I use the spare packet of S04 that I have in my stash. If the s04 do I mix it with the yeast food, sugar and water or just sprinkle it on top of the mix.

just sprinkle on top for best results use the yeast that came with it

I do alot of Woodfordes kits i always use the kit yeast and i do as Mark said just sprinkle on top. It's a pretty average strength kit so it won't be super strong unless you add loads of sugar which is a bad idea and will make it taste rough :sick: If you want a really strong one try the HeadCracker kit :drunk:
The Great Eastern is a great pint though, just finished my keg of that

I might treat Hubby to the Headcracker if I can get it done in time for christmas. Thanks for advice, I will use the kit yeast an I would like a nice drinkable beer and I don't want it tasting rough.
