Great Yeast for a Great Price!

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2020

I have been purchasing yeast from Amazon for a couple of years now. I typically buy 3 packs and have brewed mostly with Safale US-05 as I typically brew American IPA's. I decided to try a little different flavor profile and went with the Safale S-04 and I'm not disappointed! This yeast ferments very quickly, within 3-5 days as opposed to 7-10 for US-05 and sedimentation is excellent. Beer is clear after a week in the fermenter or so, no secondary needed. It doesn't ferment as low as US-05 so if you're looking for a higher ABV, make sure you bump the grain bill up. Otherwise, I actually prefer the flavor of the S-04 to the US-05 in certain IPA recipes. Will definitely purchase again!

Dependable Yeast, Better Price than S5

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2020

From the man of the family: I brew a lot of beer, mostly English-style red and amber ales. I look for a better price on bulk yeast and I trust the Safale brand. I've never had a batch fail -- not yet, knock on wood. My go-to yeast is usually Safale 5, but recently, for whatever reason, the price has gone up. I've often used #4 as well, and for my purposes, it does exactly the same good job. I'm ordering this product now because of the price difference.

It's a Great Cider Yeast.

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2016

Good price, works very fast... and next to Nottingham this is the best cider yeast I've used, and I still like S-04 better. S-04 leaves a nice subtle apple flavor that some of the cheaper, more popular champagne yeasts absolutely strip away. It lays a nice yeast bed - but its easy to stir up, so be very careful with siphoning if transferring to a secondary... I ferment under a 70F temp, anywhere from 64-68F. Even in lower temps its a fast ferment.

Great For Ginger Beer

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2019

I have been refining a root beer recipe off and on for years, and was never completely satisfied with any yeast, including this one.

However, I recently started having a go at ginger beer, and I find this to be spot-on perfect, for that. It only took a few batches to balance sugar and temperatures/durations to get a great mild yeasty balance to the sugars I use. It seems pretty forgiving with regard to attaining that balance - or at least the way I like it.

I don't know anything about beer, but for soft drinks like ginger beer, root beer, etc., this is definitely a good, safe choice to try first. You might want something lighter or darker, but you won't be put off one way or the other by this yeast.
