That’s great news! I’m going to have to place an order to the USA if that’s allowed.
Sommeliers recommend that you swirl a glass of wine and inhale its bouquet before throwing it in the face of your enemy.

Of course, we are just setting up for "Rest of World" in the mean time email us directly from the website with what you would like and we will sort it.

I'm doing your proof reading for you :lol:

In the description text for the Kent yeast it says:

This Midlands ale yeast has slow but steady fermentation abilities, prefers a low mineral wort and produces a low ester flavoured beer. Moderate sulphur may be produced under stress but no phenolic off flavours are produced. It flocculates poorly producing a light head initially but cells sediment strongly at the end of fermentation forming a strong sediment.

One for Eric!

The Brewlabs yeast profiles talk about low and high mineral worts.

What does this mean, please?

Thanks.

I cannot truly answer that one Guy.

Generalising, it would seem to relate to the typical mineral level in water supplies of the particular region concerned with the exception of Burton. Devon is known to geologists worldwide to have insoluble hard rock from before the carboniferous period that will not hold water except in cracks and fissures holding only soft water. On the other hand, Kent sits on chalk and its water is inevitably hard unless swiftly taken from the surface. Of course brewers in soft water have often added salts to improve their beers.

I don't care to say much more than that, but many years ago form several sources I learned that yeast flocculate relied on a good level of calcium and magnesium improved fermentation rate. Maybe there are yeasts that can perform better with lower mineral levels.

Kent (Shepherd Neame) is the one I want the most. Master Brew and maybe Spitfire are two I’d like to attempt.

BrewLab have a Shepherd Neame yeast but it is not on this list. I sent them a sample that I recovered from a bottle of 1977 Silver Jubilee Ale last year and it is stored in their non commercial stock. If you contact alison@brewlab.co.uk and ask for the reference code saying that Ian Edwards in France sent it I am sure she will supply it. They do ship to the US.
