I live in Costa Rica and will be going on vacation to the States in June. If I order the Wizard's Wheat, and possibly one other, should I stick with the dry yeast since I will have to carry it through customs and possibly take a couple weeks from the time I receive the kit at my friend's house in California?

what are the pros and cons of the dry yeast included in your ingredient kits vs the optional wet yeast culture? i'm especially interested in whether one produces more alcohol over the other and viability of the yeasts after shipping, and i welcome any other info you care to share.

I've never bought liquid yeast online before and I was looking for a little encouragement before ordering. I live in hawaii and I'm concerned about the transit time and temp on the way. How does the wyeast hold up on jouneys like this? Thanks.

I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?

I have a batch of pilsner underway using Wyeast #2007. Unfortunately, I bought the yeast somewhere else, never noted the manufacture date and the smack pack did not swell after 4 hours. I used it anyway because it was all I had at 10PM for a labor intensive full mash. There was virtually no fermentation activity in the carboy after 5 days at 50F. I raised the temperature to 62F until it took off . . .

If I were to take the sediment of this lager yeast from the bottom of a primary fermentation and bottle it with a carb tab, and refridgerate it, could I store it, and innoculate a later batch? Technically how long could I store a culture like this, assuming sterile conditions?

I am making a 10 Gallon batch of Pilsner, and am wondering if I can use just one pkg of 2007 Wyeast, started in a 1 quart culture a few days in advance, to do my batch; rather than buying two packages of Wyeast?

My beer (St. Pete's) is in the 2nd stage of fermentation and I was wondering when to bottle it. The beer has been in the glass carboy for one week with the temperature around 40 deg F. The bubbles in the air lock are rising a little bit over one minute now. I recorded three times 1min. 4sec., 1min. 5sec. and 1min. 14sec. I know the instructions say the bubbles should be 3min. apart, but it has been . . .

My first time brewing. I smacked the pack, but not hard enough. I poured in the yeast and found the small pack was not mixed with the yeast, so I opened the package and poured it in and stirred it in. It is the next day, and it looks like it may be fermenting. Should everything work?

I started my first attempt at homebrewing and am seeking some follow up advice.
Using wyeast #1028 London which had been refridgerated up until 3 hours before pitching. I followed the instructions in terms of the smack pack and allowed it to rest at room temperature but then pitched it directly in to the Wort (cooled to 70oF) after only 3 hours.
Will the yeast still activate or did I need to . . .

Hi, I was just wondering what the highest possible amount of alcohol is that a beer yeast can live in? I am planning on making a strong beer, and I want the alcohol to be at about 8-9%, so I just want to know if this will be achievable with just beer yeast? Or will I need to add champagne yeast to the fermentation, after the beer yeast has done it's job?

I AM BREWING BEER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS AND I ALWAYS USED DRY YEAST ,I HAVE HEARD THAT WET YEAST MAKES A MUCH BETTER BEER ,I HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THE BASIC KNOWLEGE OF BEER BREWING (NOT A COMPLETE DUMMY ) BUT FAR FROM A EXPERIENCED BREWER WOULD YOU RECOMMEND ME TRYING WET YEAST ,AND DOES THE PACKAGE TAKE YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS STEP BY STEP OR EASILY?

I ordered some of this with the liquid yeast here recently. When in the initial brewing stage, I mixed in the liquid yeast as per instuctions, and 24 hours into the brew, I saw no action at all in the check valve, so I removed the check valve, and added the dry yeast I had that also came with the package. Upon entering the secondary fermentation stage, there seems to be a slightly different odor than . . .

I'm attempting my first batch of beer,all is going well until I get to my yeast.I purchased my liquid yeast(2278 czech pils)from a local homebrew supply store. I followed the package instructions to the tee,but yeast will not start any sign of incubation.The mfg.date on package is 17 dec 02,making yeast nearly 8 months old.Have I learned an important lesson on yeast age? Or is there something else . . .
