Description
Ferment your home brewed beer like a professional using a Brewlab Yeast Slope – exclusively prepared for The Malt Miller by all round yeast experts, Brewlab
Brewlab Yeast Slope have advantages over both dry and wet yeast for home brewers. Using fresh yeast, made from a Brewlab slope, will lead to a quick start and healthy fermentation. Each slope is freshly prepared for The Malt Miller and is supplied with a certified screen for contamination and Diastaticus. Use our simple instructions to grow the yeast cells to the required pitching rate.
Yeast cultures supplied by Brewlab are held on agar slopes to preserve their viability and consistency. They are stable for up to 6 months if kept in a refrigerator below 4C. Don’t freeze as this will spoil their viability.
Little equipment is required to prepare a yeast slope, a glass jar is sufficient. Remember, never grow yeast in a sealed vessel as the CO2 produced will cause a pressure build up. Check out our yeast slope preparation bundle here

Yorkshire Saison Yeast?
Firstly, 5* for the service from MM and instructions/guidance from them on how to use, zero complaints there.
Brewed up a 1.042 OG Best Bitter and pitched the yeast from a two-stage starter into this. Ended up extremely phenolic, akin to a saison or Belgian beer and very much not to style, but nice in it’s own way. This is apparently characteristic of many yeasts from traditional Yorkshire breweries, as the oxygenation provided by the Yorkshire square method subdues these flavours and balances things out. This is much harder to achieve on a homebrew scale, hence the clove/banana bomb experience I’ve had. Might be what you’re looking for, but wasn’t what I was after!

Brilliant yeast, it has a nice flavour and fresh smell. Made a lovely best bitter clone of the craven brew companies Yorkshireman. Pity it’s out of stock now .
