Now, for those of you who don't know, yeast is a catalyst. In brewing, the yeast organisms are going to basically convert the sugars in the grains that I've put in here into alcohol. This is pretty much the final step in setting up our fermentation.
If you look closely, you can see my fermenter (the bucket filled with brown liquid below my pinkie finger). After I add the yeast, I'd stir it up to make sure it gets nice and mixed in, and then seal it up for two weeks.
If you look closer still, you'll see a brew bag hanging in the mash. This I filled up with the Cascade hops, orange peels and grains of paradise and left it in there. The latter just to give flavor, but by leaving the hops in there, this will bring out the pine and citrus notes of the Cascade hops.
I will be bottling this beer in my livestream next saturday.

Generally, with brewing yeast, you don't have to.
I forgot to mention up in the body of the post, but this strain of yeast is Belgian, and will impart its own flavor to the beer. Belgian strains tend to add flowery, fruity notes, while a dry ale yeast or a lager yeast would provide a different one.
