I did a similar test several years ago, also doing an all grain bourbon mash. I ferment on grain and I liked the different characters each one produced. So now I use BOTH, equal parts Dady and Fleischmann's bread yeast in all my bourbons, give it a try, tastes fantastic.

I'm new to the hobby with only six runs under my belt. The first and only corn mash recipe I tried called for 1 tbs bread yeast and 1-1/2 tbs. Distillers Active Dry Yeast. In a 5 gal pot. So that's what I did with others which have been sour mash. I'm gonna have to try one and then other like you did.

Great test I think some of it is personal taste I've used Red star distillers yeast.. and my last batch fermented way to long think my yeast is dying or almost dead.. been a while gonna try one more time before I ditch it tried pineapple last attempt. Think I'll try sugar wash just for fermentation purposes... can always flavor or re run it with another mash... for educational purposes only!!!!!

I think this is my favorite video so far. Its a good one.👍

Probably also mentioned below but it also comes down to the cuts, the speed of the run.

Awesome video really enjoyed this one

Great video!! It was interesting to see bunch of ppl basically the same differences over a bunch of tests. It's been long time since I used daddy. I've always associated it with high gravity mashes, and I run lower gravity mashes. When I start making shine again I'm going to do this test again and see what happens. I may prefer daddy if it gives the sweeter taste. Shine On Phil!

That was a really close vote, I wonder about brandy and mountain brandy differences. Everyone seems to be between bread yeast and EC1118

I have a old yeast culture from a well known distillery in VA. I've used it for several years and keep recycling it and reusing it.

Guy takes the teeth out, made my day.

love this kind of info hunting stuff. keep it up!

This was a really good taste test review..

Man Phil ought to do a shed tour, that place looks so gnarly. the Wizards chamber.

Great Vid Phil. Really like the heads up comparison blind taste test. This goes to show that taste and preferences are all subjective. In 3 months I’ve learned that everyone likes everything a different way. Can we see DADY vs Bread Vs Wine yeast on a sugar wash? Super small batch just to see if any can produce a more neutral / less fire taste?

About to try some Russian super yeast.

Was #2 & 3 afraid you wasn't gonna give em another drink? 🤣🤣🤣

Very helpful video

Great video, brother.

Like Big Eazie every one should have had a swig of water between tastes that would have made a big difference in the outcome I bet!!!!

Was Mark the only one to cleanse the pallet before trying a different shine? Great video man.

Saf instant red bakers yeast is my fav,chews thru rum wash like a Mf! Whisky I’ll do half saf red n half whiskey yeast n no probs at all,saf red likes the higher temps,I get away with 32 to 36’c no dramas,flavour wise I get a hint of yeast but as I can’t get dady in Australia it’s not a flavour bomb problem! Hey if it chews thru the mash n gives me the alkihol i ain’t gunna give a flyin fook 👍

I know that it’s mostly about the taste but maybe do a smell test and taste bring coffe beans as it’s supposed to help with distracting the smell to help reset the nose

@PhilBilly Moonshine - Hey man i was watching & just thinking; shouldn't testers do a water 'rinse' between samplings? clean the pallet or what ever. I Cant barley hold a shot without a rinse / watter chaser so what do i know... but yeh dude, just seems like that would improve results. love everything you do man, you are an inspiration to Tubers & Homebrewers alike. hope to chat with you On the next B.O.P Bar Open-MCnight. -STAY FROSTY -🚬🤔❄The Skeptical Canuck.

I would be curious to see how using one with the same recipe and just the backset in one would fair out.

Hell yeah I’ve been doing it right all the time then 🤙🏻

I've never had access to anything besides bread yeast. The question is...... is the price (including going hour or 2 away to buy) it from a brew shop worth adding into cost? I want to eventually get fermade o or k and some enzymes but would the expensive yeast be higher on the list? I'm a stick with bread yeast and try to get some enzymes and nutrients after watching this...... maybe in the future I'll get some fancy yeast. :)

Philbilly is it possible that you switched them by accident seems like the bread yeast would def smell and taste sweeter?

I’m here for it first

This makes me completely rethink bread yeast , I wasn't even going to give it a chance. But this video makes me want to I love my sweet 120 proof from Dady, but maybe I'll like it with bread yeast more

Dude I didn't know sloth was still around ! LMAO BIG EASZY

China angel yeast??? Thoughts??

I've already done this few weeks ago, I got to vote dady as the better taste, just my opinion

That was a good video.

Great video what event was you at

I've been using 50/50 dady & bread yeast lately...

I have a bunch of different wine yeast but I don't have any dady yeast yet

I use Daddy myself. How about a comparison between Daddy yeast and Turbo yeast🤔

Should have proofed them both down to 80. The 120 is a little overpowering on the senses. I always proof down when making cuts as flavors become more discernible...but that's me.

Could you do a video using distiller yeast and 48hr turbo yeast

I Phil I'm wondering if you can mix the yeast half bread juice and half daty

What kind of bread yeast are you saying?

You said you did it again what was the outcome of the second time did you choose a daddy or the bridge East

Nah i just used bread yeast all the time brother it taste dam good 😂

The yeast to use is the yeast you have.

Daddy won hands down, but I lost count of actual score.

Y'all wanna hear something funny.. ... It took me the whole video to figure out what a D.A.D.Y yeast was. I couldn't find that brand anywhere on the internet.. All I've used so far is Rwd Star and Fleshman's..lol... THEN I realized it was an acronym.....

Don't be spilling that stuff; that's called alcohol abuse!
