does this use lager yeast or ale yeast?

That depends mostly on the temperature at which you will be fermenting. If you can keep it in the 60-65 degree range, Use lager yeast. If you will be fermenting at a higher temperature, you should use an ale yeast.

Ale yeast. We have had great success with this kit. Everyone's favorite. We have brewed three times.

Everything's included in the kit. Check the details section, it should tell you.

Yes, it brewed just like beer brew it and bottle it and prime it with a bit of sterilized cider I did it back a few years ago, also made mead cutting the standard recipes. It worked well, except you had to move it out fairly quickly to prevent the dead yeast from giving it an off flavor.,

Yes it is yeast but spoon for spoon is different and it is not typical bread yeast. I would not use it for anything unless u experiment it is very good but u have to know exchange amounts. Excellent for bread. But expensive

I tried using it to brew with, and got a zero result. I did not read anywhere that this is 'Dead Yeast in a Jar'. But, that's what it is. What I did, fortunatly, was to try to make a yeast starter before brewing and pitching. Got zero activity twice! Although I don't eat it, I decided to use it as a yeast nutrient for my light beers and Mead. When brewing a light beer, I put in a heaping tablespoon in the boil. When I make a Mead I put two heaping tablespoons in a little water and boil for a few minutes, then pitch into the must just before adding the active yeast. I hope this helps. ~Carl

Sorry, I have no idea. I have this as a gift and didn't use it myself. I did sample the results which tasted rather strong to me, however I'm not a huge beer drinker. It was GOOD though! Sorry I can't help more.

The bottle states guaranteed to added yeast, This is the best Ginko I have used and I have bought it for more than 4 years, it is strong 500Mgs

There's enough sanitizer for one batch. Pick star-San, iodophor, others a re out there. I like the grolsch style bottles. This kit reliably fills 30 - 32 1/2 liters. Pay brew pot. At least 6 gallons. 8 is better, stainless steel with lid. And then, something to brew. Many extract recipe kits available. Get an ale. Lager requires temperature control and a fridge. So kit, sanitizer, bottles, pot, recipe.

I'm not sure about the brewmasyets kit. The Premium Gold comes with ingredients for two batches, keg, and bottles. Easy to do with great instructions

This yeast packet is supposed to be good for 5 gallons of fruit-based wine. The barleywine I've had was made from, well, barley, rather than fruit, and tasted more beer-like than wine-like, so I'd guess that an ale or beer yeast might be more appropriate . . . but this is good yeast, you should certainly get a ferment out of it!

No. My sister and her now 7 year old have used the kit several times in the past 2 years. You don't let it ferment long; just a little bit to get bubbles. No alcohol. This kit is meant for kids.It gets a yeasty flavor if you use too much yeast or let it ferment at a warm temperature for too long.

No. This kit only includes the grains needed to brew the beer. Brooklyn does offer an all inclusive kit that contains everything you need to ferment beer, all you would need is a pot to brew it in: Brooklyn Brew Shop Beer Making Kit, Chocolate Maple Porter

If you mean home brewing then yes. I've had this valve along with a local welding supply CO2 bottle for a year and this valve works perfectly on my corny kegs.

No, You can use recipe kits or use your own ingredients. This is the basic setup you would need to brew two-stage beer, the plastic is the primary fermenter and the glass (carboy) is the secondary fermenter. Two-stage brewing results in a more conditioned clearer beer. Salute!

I suppose you could. I use the Barley Malt Powder to feed yeast in a bread culture.After all, as they say bread is solid beer and beer is liquid bread.

No cooking ingredients are involved. The kit comes with Hopped Malt Extract (HME). Just bring to slow boil and add to fermenter. You can do your own mash if you want. Just adjust recipe for 2g. Otherwise you'd need larger equipment.

I only use active dry yeast and have o experience with SAF yeast. I do no use a bread machine when I bake.

Yes it will. There are many different types of yeast and they like different conditions and give different flavors to the final product. Using the Champagne yeast will definitely give the ginger beer a better flavor. The bread yeast will give a bready (funky flavor). The champagne yeast will give a much cleaner flavor - if you don't want alcohol in your ginger beer, make sure you refrigerate the soda after sufficient carbonation has been achieved in order to kill off the yeast.
