Yeast

Chris White, the founder of White Labs, a popular brewing yeast manufacturer, offers a guide to understanding and mastering the use of yeast in beer brewing. He provides comprehensive practical information for small scale professionals and advanced hobbyists. Neither a textbook on microbiology nor a guide to beer brewing, the work provides useful, easy to understand information on advanced yeast concepts, choosing the right yeast, all aspects of fermentation, creating yeast starters and culturing, and tips for troubleshooting problem fermentations. The work includes specific, how-to instructions for many fermentation tasks and problems as well as illustrations, photographs and charts for yeast formulation and use.
