Dry Yeast it is Better than You Think

If you read around, and listen to your brewing buddies you may get the idea that quality yeasts only come in the liquid yeast from companies like White Labs and Wyeast. Maybe that was true, in the past, most of the dry yeast available was, less than the best. 
However, the time has come to change your mind on dry yeasts.  Fermentis is a company has put out some pretty good quality dry yeast products.

Dry Yeast is Quick, Easy, and Costs Much Less

The main advantage of using dry yeast versus liquid is its ease of use. Dry yeast is packed with nutrient reserves and there are lots of yeast cells in each packet (approximately 200 Billion +), which means you do not need to make a starter. You can just spread it on top of the beer unlike liquid yeast (15 – 18 Billion) where you must break the inner seal or make a starter culture. How many times have you had to wait one or two days for your smack pack to grow to 1” before pitching?

This fast-attenuating yeast produces a balanced flavor profile and has strong flocculation characteristics. Under normal fermentation conditions its use will result in a clean, rounded flavor profile comparable to commercially produced beers. 15 grams.
