A former Wyeast seasonal, now available year-round. This terrific all-round yeast can be used for almost any beer style, and is a mainstay of one of Wyeast's local homebrewers, Mr. Denny Conn. It is unique in that it produces a big mouthfeel and accentuates the malt, caramel, or fruit character of a beer without being sweet or under-attenuated.
Additional Information:
The activator has 100 billion cells of pure, ready-to-pitch yeast, plus an internal nutrient packet. The Activator is designed to inoculate five gallons of wort (up to 1.065 SG) providing the pitching rate recommended by professional brewers. The smack pack system allows yeast metabolism to begin, providing proof of healthy yeast. It is not necessary for this package to fully swell before use.
