3 | So, okay, here's the deal: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Originally I put this list of "equivalents" together for my own personal use. But I shared it with a few people, and they seemed to find it useful, so… | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | that's how you got here, obviously. Welcome. Hope you find it useful too. I understand it can be a little confusing, so here's some general stuff: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | Each line contains approximate "equivalent" yeast strains (or ones shown "NOT" to be equivalents, where noted) from different manufacturers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | By "equivalent", I mean "close enough, for most intents & purposes". These will usually not be 100% identical, but 95% should be pretty darn close. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | Sources include actual genomic testing, review of real people's actual tasting results, and my own personal reviews and analysis of various data. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | The list is generally arranged in order by White Labs first, then Wyeast. (Hey, it's MY list.) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | Mangrove Jack doesn't make their own yeast, they just repack yeast from others. So of the options out there, another is either the same or it's a blend. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | Sorry, no, I don't have Imperial or Omega or kveik or several other recent developments on here yet. You can figure out some stuff yourself, for now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | Sorry, no, I am NOT going to add the probable source breweries for every line on here. Reason being, most sources on sources are in fact WRONG. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | You might want to do word searches to find your favorite yeasts. Hit Control-F then type in a search term, hit Enter a few times until you find it. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | To add constructive feedback, you can message me on any forum and I may consider it. My username everywhere is dmtaylor, dmtaylo1, or dmtaylo2. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | More background information about this list: https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=33038.msg422354#msg422354 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | Have fun trying new yeasts that you never thought you'd try before! I love to split batches to compare. Experiment, learn, and share results. Cheers! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
