Benefits of Using Dry Yeast
For years, liquid yeast has been sold as the higher quality option, but times are changing. Dry yeast is now a viable alternative that offers several benefits. Cellarscience yeast has a higher cell count and viability than commercial liquid yeast pitches, which vary from pouch to pouch and don't ship well. Plus, dry yeast is quick and easy to use, high quality, and available at a reasonable cost.
Directions for Use
To use the Cellarscience Voss Dry Yeast, simply sprinkle it onto the surface of your wort.

Allow the slurry to stand undisturbed for 20 minutes, then swirl and use small amounts of wort to adjust to within 10°F of wort temperature before pitching.
