All liquid yeast being shipped includes a complementary ice pack per shipping order when temperatures are above 50F. Although we cannot guarantee that the ice packs will stay cold during shipping, we highly recommend the addition of an insulated mailer. Store pickup orders do not include an ice pack, but may be purchased with yeast or kits.

*Selecting the “Ice Pack” option adds an additional ice pack to shipping orders, or a single ice pack to store pickup orders.
**Selecting the “Insulated Mailer” option will add an insulated envelope and additional ice pack to shipping or store pickup orders.

The classic choice for brewing golden strong ales. This alcohol tolerant strain will produce a complex ester profile balanced nicely with subtle phenolics. Malt flavors and aromas will remain even with a well attenuated dry, tart finish. This strain is prone to stalling at approximately 1.035; racking or slight aeration will encourage it to finish fermentation.

  • Flocculation: Low
  • Attenuation: 74-78%
  • Temperature Range: 64-80°F (18-27°C)
  • Alcohol Tolerance: 12% ABV

Activator packages are designed for direct inoculation of 5 gallons of standard wort. Activator packages contain at least 100 billion live yeast cells in a liquid slurry. This yeast slurry is packaged in an optimum condition for storage, while maintaining the ability for rapid and complete fermentation.
