The Malt Miller | Does Yeast Make A Difference? | Summit Pale Ale Experiment 🧐

We're putting on our lab coats this week to conduct a test for you all... Does yeast make that much of a difference? This is the question we often get asked and decided to put to the test!!

We brewed a 40lt batch of beer using the Grainfather G40, split it into 2 fermenters and added 2 different dry yeast strains from Mangrove Jacks to test this out! M36 Liberty Bell and M66 Hop Head...

The beer is an America Pale Ale using Summit T90 hop pellets and the malt bill is 46% Heidelberg, 46% Pale Ale Malt, 5% Carahell & 3% Light Crystal. We added hop additions at 60min, 7min and 2mins as well as a dry hop after primary fermentation was complete. The full recipe for both beers and a 40lt batch with both yeast options is available on our website here:

I like most of the Mangrove craft yeast range, my favourites are the M76, M21, M66.

It proves the line….Brewers make wort, yeast makes beer! Great video as always guys

[White_Rose_Al]

Really good video this one, can't beat a grain to glass with an experiment thrown in

[icarusblogs]

definitely be trying both of these! Great content guys!

Thanks for this coincidently I did a summit pale with willamette for bittering using s04 yeast, nice taste but finished very dry 1.003. Liberty bell and warmer mash next time

[vendettawarcrime]

I’d have guessed LB would have had more malt character whereas the HH with added enzyme would have made for a drier thinner mouthfeel. Liberty Bell getting added to my next order!

[dthills]

Great video, really interesting & pushing me towards a bigger brew system to do some large experiments😀

[martinsmith]

Wow, I use HH from time to time, maybe time to give LB a go!

OG was low 1.065 instead of 1.075, 2 packets to start, just added a Nottinhill and it’s on its was, not sure what the hold up was, but they say it happens to everyone at some point, but hey I’ve got it out of the way now, I hope:-)

Great video, I've just got back into brewing after 30 years, kit at the moment. Didn't realise you could use different yeasts.

[seannull]

Did the flavor profiles change at all after a few weeks? If they lasted that long! Haha

[oldgingerfuzz]

I’m surprised with your verdict, when I heard you say that sample A had more malt I thought instantly “that’s the Liberty Bell”!!! I have a pack waiting for a brew next weekend - judging from the video do you recommend pitching directly into the wort and fermentation temp of 20 degrees?

It’s going into medium hopped English amber ale.

So did the dude on the left like Liberty Bell in the end?

[jquigley]

What's the enzyme in hop head? wouldn't mind trying it

[icemanknobby]

One using M44 on an imperial stout 36 hrs in no movement any suggestions?

[haroldhorseposture]

these yeasties on my next shopping list. Just goes to show what you get ain't always what you might expect. Case in point; I just did my last order from you, and finally it's time to sup ! I did 5.5 kg Maris Otter, 65 degrees for 1 hour, 70 for 5 mins, 60 min boil with 20g Citra at 30, 20g at 20, 20g at 10 . 1 pack US 05, rehydrated, ferment at 19C, 40g Citra dryhop for 7 days. Blow me, if it isn't a cast-iron estery Belgian Blond tasting thing. Not what I expected, not unpleasant, and a bit random . Suggestion for future taste testing? Any chance you could maybe liken brews to commercial ones we may be familiar with ? It would add to the already descriptive notes, for a fuller picture. Unless toy can email me samples! Still waiting on THAT technology

[frigorifix]

It surely does make a difference... It also helps when the yeast doesn't take 10 days to reach you when you order it unfortunately...

[nigeltownshend]

Opaque glasses might have removed your preconceptions about which was which....

[davidpartridge]

Did the Summit live up to expectation?
