Malt, Hops & Yeast Flavors in Beer


There are so many styles of beer that are changing so often it seems like the BJCP Style Guidelines struggle in keeping up. Malt, hops and yeast, the key ingredients in beer, each contribute to a wide range of flavors and aromas. And we are not even including all the other important functions that each of these ingredients perform in perfecting our favorite carbonated beverage. We are going to focus on four specific yeast strains from Propagate as we have limited opportunities to brew with liquid yeast normally reserved for commercial breweries.


Andechs Lager - From a former Monastic brewery in Germany, this yeast produces very clean lagers that flocculates better than most lagers.


Belgian Dwarf Ale - This yeast makes everything from a Saison to table beer, from a blonde to a dark quad, and is a fast fermenter.


Hazy IPA - Does this need an introduction at this point? NEIPA and Hazy IPAs have become one of the most popular craft beer styles in recent years.


American Wheat - Clean fermenting with all the haze perfect for brewing an American-style wheat beer.

Recipe Suggestions for Propagate Liquid Yeast

ο»Ώ

Andechs Lager - Traditionally brewed in March and drank in October, this March-In-Marzen lager would pair well with the Andechs Lager liquid yeast.


Belgian Dwarf Ale - While this yeast has a wide range of uses, a Belgian Strong Ale is a great ale to showcase the Propagate liquid yeast.


Hazy IPA - Tropical notes are a great addition to any Hazy IPA, and this Hazy Mango IPA (opens PDF) will impress any IPA fan.


American Wheat - Get a headstart on summer with this fruit-forward Strawberry Wheat Ale (opens PDF).
