which yeast?

1 post

hey

my uncle gave me a reciepe he has used before which apparantly was very tasty and strong. it seems very simple, the ingredients are:

8l of apple juice
2l water
1kg sugar
2oz liqurice root (chopped small and bruised)
1 sachete brewers/ beer yeast

1. Boil half the water in a pan with the liqurice and sugar for 3-4 minutes.
2. Take off the heat and add the other half of the water, with all the apple juice.
3. Put in demijon, pour in yeast (make sure the mixture in under 70 degrees farenheit before adding the yeast)


i was just wondering, wont the type of yeast i put in vary the final product greatly? iv just been looking around the net at different yeast and theres hundreds of them, i have no idea which one i need?

does anyone hav any idea wat kind of yeast i would need? or do they know a good all round yeast?
