A blend of two unique Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains (one STA1+), one strain being a good attenuator that produces a spicy and mildly tart character along with a full mouthfeel and the other being a good attenuator that produces a delightful ester profile of grapefruit and orange zest. This blend exhibits low diastatic activity.

 PLEASE NOTE: This yeast has a BBD of 14/3/25 and has therefore been reduced in price. We believe this yeast will still have good viability but if you are not happy with it's performance, please contact us for a full refund.

This popular German strain is used in the production of traditional, authentic hefeweizen. It produces a high level of isoamyl acetate, giving the resulting beer notes of banana. With balanced phenol production, this strain produces notes of clove but remains banana forward. Low flocculation leaves the desired cloudy look, appropriate for the German wheat beer style. Pitching rate and temperature will dramatically affect the flavor and aroma of this strain. Traditional brewing techniques suggest underpitching to produce more classic characteristics of the style.

From England, this yeast can ferment up to 25% alcohol when used correctly. It produces ester characters that increase with increasing gravity. Malt character dominates at lower gravities. To achieve >25% ABV, sugar needs to be fed over the course of the fermentation.

This blend of STA1 negative strains produces a complex expression of esters and phenols great for saison and farmhouse-style beers without the potential for super-attenuation commonly associated with many Belgian-style strains. White Labs Brewing commercial trials and sensory panel identified fruit-like notes from this strain ranging from lemon and tropical fruit to chamomile, as well as an array of spice-like phenolic driven aromas like pepper, clove, and coriander.

Belgian Saison II Ale Yeast strain is a moderate phenol producer with clove-like flavor and aromatic notes present in the finished beer. Some fruit-forward ester production provides a balance between fruit and spice aroma and flavors. This strain ferments and flocculates well, making it an easy-to-use option for saison and farmhouse ales.

This blend incorporates multiple Belgian and saison strains to produce pear-like esters backed by spicy, earthy and clove-like flavors and aromas. The cultures encourage complete fermentation in a timely manner and create harmony and complexity throughout its ester and phenol production.

A blend of two monastery-type yeast strains and one Belgian ale-type yeast. This blend creates a versatile culture which can be used for monastery-style beers or a myriad of American-Belgian style beers.

This strain of non-conventional brewing yeast, Saccharomycodes ludwigii, has been found to be useful when brewing a low alcohol beer. This specific strain has been chosen because of its lower ethyl acetate production compared to similar strains. This species does not ferment maltose or other larger sugars and will only ferment the glucose, sucrose, and fructose.

This strain is appropriate for all styles of low alcohol beer. Although this would be categorized as a wild yeast, this strain would not typically be considered a beer spoiler as it does not have the ability to ferment larger sugars. Using this strain to create a low alcohol beer requires a modified recipe.

WLP002 is a classic ESB strain from one of England’s largest independent breweries. While it is traditionally used for English-style ales including milds, bitters, porters, and stouts, it is also ideal for American-style pale ales and IPAs. Residual sweetness accentuates malt character along with mild fruity esters, adding complexity to the flavor and aroma of finished beers. Slight diacetyl production is common. Due to this strain’s high flocculation, the beer will finish clear and the yeast can easily be harvested from the fermenter for future use. It is common for this yeast to look coagulated.
