There are many decisions that go into making your own beer at home, but one of the most important is what type of yeast you will use. There are two main types of yeast – dry and liquid – and both have their own benefits and drawbacks. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at each type of yeast and help you decide which one is best for you! Dry yeast is the most common type of yeast used in homebrewing .

Liquid yeast also allows you to better control the fermentati...
