Great for making ginger beer! Helped my ginger bug, and then it carbonated my ginger beer!
Works really well! And it's really a lot of yeast for my application. Been storing safely in the fridge for when I want to do more ginger beer!

After trying 5 different yeasts for Cider, this is my absolute favorite
I've only been into homebrew (starting with cider) for about 6 months. In that time I've tried numerous types and styles of apple juice, and five different yeasts (SafAle-S04, SafAle-US05, Nottingham, Belle Saison, Cider House Select). Ironically, out of the nine batches I've made, the first batch was the best and it was Martinelli's Apple Juice (brewed in the plastic jug I bought it in) and SafAle-S04 - that's it. Since then I tried a lot of different combinations and most recently went back to SafAle-S04 and that is where I will stay. I ferment in my 66F basement storage room and SafAle-S04 ferments down to 1.000 in 12 days and flocculates amazingly well. I cold crash at Day 12 and bottle at Day 14 then bottle condition for 1 week before I start drinking. I want to bottle age to develop more complex and smooth flavors but always end up drinking it all first. I've give it away to close friends and family and it's so good they are shocked I make it in my basement LOL.I've purchased yeast two different times from Craft A Brew. In both cases the yeast was fresh, unexpired, and worked great. To be fair, I ordered in Winter so there was no worry of excessive heat during shipping. Will definitely purchase from Craft A Brew again.

The kit didn't have any yeast for priming
I used this when the kit didn't have any for priming. Who doesn't use yeast to carbonate? Dummies I guess.

Brewing yeast for summer shandy
When you order brewing kits but don’t read the instructions right away (saying to refrigerate the yeast…. )We were ready to brew a summer shandy and needed a compatible yeast. I found these and used approx 1/3 packet for a gallon brew.It worked great in the fermenter, very active/productive.
