Alas, whoah I say to my brethern who share my bane in lack of beer-taste! For we are the ones who must seek further to find a blessed libation with which to get ver-shnickered on. Oh the humanity! Hehehe
That was good! :thumbsup:

TAKeyser,
Is there a compiled list or chart that shows which yeast prefers certain SGs? I’ve look at the chart in the NewBee’s guide as well as the table in “The Complete Meadmaker" and an additional list I printed off from somewhere. They all state the temp range and ABV but I couldn’t see where any of the indicated a preferred SG.
Regards,
Paul
I use Lallemand's Yeast Chart quite a bit. Its a bit intimidating at first, but its not too bad once you get the hang of it.
The chart will show you estimated ABV tolerance of the yeast and their relative nitrogen requirements (how sensitive they are to a lack of nutrients). When starting out, it easier if you stick with the low nitrogen yeasts.
Also, keep in mind that the estimated alcohol tolerance of the yeast is just that... an estimate. A 14% yeast may finish early and only get to 13.5% or it might just keep going till 15%.

No, a slight variation on one that you're already privy to. ;D
