Awesome
Excellent!! Recommended Seller. Items received fast as described. Thanks again.
Tanks Haydn,

This stuff is amazing. Making Soju or even a corn heavy bourbon is now so quick and simple!
Tanks John,
Yes, we agree Angel Yellow Label Yeast is the magic wand of Yeast!
First time to use this product. I don't have equipment to boil the grains first and wanted to make a vodka. Worked great, and I was happy with the results. Don't be fooled by the sour smell!! It's still good to use. Looking forward to trying a rye whisky next with some other whole grains this time. Let's put it to the test.
Tanks Stephen,
Great to hear that you got great results from using Angel Yellow Label Yeast and that it is enabling you to ferment happy and distil safely. cheers
This product was easy to use with my cereal/grain base wash, and has produced a better spirit for whiskies than the bread yeast I have used previously, and also a cleaner neutral for making gin
Hey Leigh,
That is music to our ears. We are pleased to hear that you are getting good results from this yeast. cheers #fermentfast #distilsafely always
I've bought this twice now and have used with rice, molasses and various grains. My only question is sometimes the fermentation has a bit of a sour funky smell/taste. Not every time though, twice with rice and once with a mix of grains. I'm solid on clean/sterilization practices and I do temperature control. I did start looking into best PH for this product. Not sure if there is an X factor I am not considering when it comes to this issue? Any ideas?
Hey Trev,
Tanks for your valuable feedback and review. We are going to reach out to the manufacturers to get more feedback on your question as it has come up previously. Angel Yellow Label Yeast leaven is a mix of a fungus, yeast and enzymes. Controlling pH into the optimal range for any fermentation will always help the yeast to ferment faster and cleaner as will temperature control in the optimal range. Beer with us while we chase down some answers to your excellent queries. cheers #distilsafely always
Using the Yellow Label yeast for the neutral spirit batches, works very well. I use 1gm per litre in the fermenter volume as my normal dose ratio and been pitching at 30degC.
Very happy with the results, not used as yet for my beers.
Hey Christopher,
Pleased to hear that Angel Yellow Label Yeast is working well for your neutral spirit batches. Be interested to hear how it goes in your beers! cheers #brewhappy #distilsafely always
Don't have time to gelatinize? don't have high temp alpha analyze? Don't stress, get this stuff and throw it in and watch the magic happen regardless of what you used. Pretty sure this could ferment an old gumboot into something drinkable. Great for corn mashes, and pretty good for rice wine/makegolli too, if that's your thing.
Tanks David,
Appreciate your valued feedback on Angel Yellow Label Yeast. It really is wizard magic and makes washes easy! Have a great distilling week ahead. cheers #distilsafely always
Good, easy to use and fairly clean tasting alcohol obtained
Hey Richard,
Tanks for your review after your ferment fast and easy with Angel Yellow Label Yeast. cheers #distilsafely always
I love this yeast, it's pretty much fool proof, doesn't leave after notes once distilled (stripping run first) one point I'd like to make is 'The finer you grind the cereal (nearly powder) the quicker it works and better the yield of alcohol. Highly recommend. And thanks to BeerCo for getting it to me ASAP.
Tanks Garry,
Appreciate your valuable gift of feedback and great build on milling the cereal to a fine grit to help speed up the fermentation and improve yield. cheers #distilsafely always
Very fast acting.
Purchased the yeast after watching still it on you tube, Jesse explains the uses and benefits, could not agree more with his words, easy to use and the need to cook is diminished, higher temp to start than what I am used to but really happy with the process and results :+1:
Tanks for your review Geoff! Certainly makes life easier and we have received a lot of positive feedback on this product. Ferment Happy Distil Safely always
It appears to take much longer to brew than other yeasts I've used. So far I'm up to three weeks waiting for the brewing to finish. Having said that, if the alcolohol content is as it should be then it will have been worth the wait. Only time (and my patience) can tell.
The S. G. at the start was 1.12 so once this has finished I'll know if the yeast was worth it.
Thanks Nigel for taking the time to review Angel Yellow Label Yeast. Did you do any treatment of the grain or are you using unmalted and no cereal cook grain or rice? It will take longer if your feedstock has not been modified, conversion of starches to simple sugars. cheers #fermenthappy always
Works well one week on and still fermenting.
I don’t follow the directions exactly, water to temp then yellow label and mix, then quick oats and mix again. That’s it!! So easy, then back to the directions.
Hey Peter,
Tanks for taking time out to review after you ferment happy! Yes, Angel Yellow Label sure takes the thinking out of fermenting before distilling safely! cheers
Good one! Will buy it again ^ ^
