Hi I went with the wlp007 in the end and its went off like a rocket. The yeast was nice and fresh taken from my conical as was fermenting an IPA.

+1 I have done that many a time brewing. I have to say I don't with distilling 'cos Fermipan is £3.70/kg and I can't be bothered. Made by the same peeps that I pay £80/kg for their wine yeast. Bonkers. .... And yes they are both bulk packs I haven't multiplied up the 5g sachets price that would just be off the planet per kg.

I am definitely a Mr.Cheap in certain departments, and for a distilled wash would pour in a whole 65p/125g of bakers yeast for a 25 litre brew.
It may not be the best way to go, but if you have not tried it, then maybe you should.

Just sayin'

Nice one Mr Ice, nailing the most useful links category once again that one is going straight into the bookmarks!
My mouth always waters reading the White Labs descriptions but then I look at the price & the northerner in me takes over so they never get bought....maybe one day I'll give one a go?! Definitely a useful link, please excuse whilst I read until my chin is wet

They will both work of course... for me I'd go with the Ale yeast as your mashing a grain.

+1 So would I. I would not waste an expensive yeast on something you are going to distil.

I wonder if White labs do a distilling yeast?

Hi guys I'm Going to be doing a grain mash today to make some whisky. I only have bakers yeast or wlp007. What yeast would be best to use out of the two ?
