Add the yeast directly to the mash and avoid problems

Most problems with whisky mash fermentation are from wild fermentation or infection in the mash. The use of stater culture is what usually causes this: it has to be sterile. This type of failure can happen to anyone. Our whiskey yeast contains enough yeast cells to start without a culture. Just sprinkle the yeast on the surface of the room-tempered mash, wait 15 minutes, then mix it with the mash.

Worldwide sale – we recommend shipping as a first class letter, Return Receipt Requested

A sachet of yeast weighs only 25 grams. So we ship worldwide with a very affordable freight cost. If you order a larger packet, for example a 10 or 25 pack, you will also get high-volume discounted prices, and the freight per sachet will be very small.

How long can the yeast be stored?

The yeast keep its full power for one year. If stored in the fridge (recommended), it keeps its full power for three years.

Is the yeast labeled as whisky yeast?

No. As we ship worlddwide with different regulations in different countries, as a whisky yeast label could make a government bureau upset in some countries. We keep a low profile on the yeast sachet. It is labeled WD-yeast 23 gram. There is also a four-digit code that is the batch number indicating where the yeast originated. That is all.

Send as samples

The yeast is sent as samples. It is called WD-yeast only: a very simple sachet sample, no fancy label. The yeast is also great for making diabetic beer, it ferments out all the sugar in the beer.
