Wyeast Vs. White Labs Yeast

Post by BrooklandBrewer » Sat May 04, 2013 7:58 pm

I've been brewing with mainly Wyeast products but I am going to give White Labs yeast a go. What do you guys prefer? Apologies if this is already been a thread :smackhead:

My thoughts. Does not matter who makes the yeast. Just where I can get the strain I want. Answer changes all the time.

I prefer Wyeast because of their packaging. I hate it when the vials spew out when I am making a starter. I go slow but it still seems to get messy. The Wyeast package is way easier. Dunk it in a pail of starsan, tear it back and pitch.
