  • Santi Beer Yeast

    Good afternoon;

    1st time caller / long time listener...

    Hoping to make a Finnish Style Sahti, and enquiring about yeast.
    Read in the 2016 Beer Style Guidelines that Bread/Bakers yeast is traditionally used for fermentation.
    Planning on a 20 HL batch or roughly 13 US Barrels.

    Any thoughts on a yeast to use? How much yeast to use? Never used dried yeast so I am not certain on amounts.
    Not planning to use any mixed cultures. Just want to keep it pretty simple, as I never made this style.

    Spices: Planning to use Juniper berries; combination of mash / steep in boil / and maybe a bit in the FV or Conditioning.

    Any advice is appreciated.

    Sahti Yeast

    Bread Yeast. And with some good culturing you will get a hybrid. No commercial offerings but for a quick start, mild weizen yeast will yield good results if you have good juniper notes..
