ALES

A01 House

The best of both worlds, House is clean and allows malt and hops to shine. This strain is extremely versatile and flocculent enough to drop out of the beer quickly. Best used in American IPAs but works well in English style ales. House is clean at cold temperatures with increased esters as fermentation temperatures increase.

TEMP: 62-70F, 16-21C // FLOCCULATION: HIGH // ATTENUATION: 73-75%

A04 Barbarian

Ready to attack your IPA, Barbarian produces stone fruit esters that work great when paired with citrus hops. Barbarian will give you what you need for an exceptionally balanced IPA.

TEMP: 62-70F, 16-21C // FLOCCULATION: MEDIUM // ATTENUATION: 73-74%

A07 Flagship 

A craft brewing standard, Flagship is a versatile strain loved for its extremely clean character. This strain performs well at standard ale temperatures but can be used in the low 60s to produce exceptionally crisp ales. Flocculation is in the middle of the road and will typically require filtration or fining to achieve crystal clear beers.

TEMP: 60-72F, 16-22C // FLOCCULATION: MED-LOW // ATTENUATION: 73-77%

A09 Pub

Brewers swear by this strain to achieve super bright ales in a short amount of time. One of the most flocculent brewer’s strains around, Pub will rip through fermentation and then drop out of the beer quickly. Pub produces higher levels of esters than most domestic ale strains. Be sure to give beers made with Pub a sufficient diacetyl rest.

TEMP:64-70F,18-21C // FLOCCULATION: VERY HIGH // ATTENUATION: 69-74%

A10 Darkness

A beautiful strain for stout, porter, brown, and amber ales. Darkness produces a unique character that matches up perfectly with roasted and caramel malts. This strain is alcohol tolerant, so don’t hesitate to throw high gravity worts its way.

TEMP: 62-72F, 17-22C // FLOCCULATION: MEDIUM // ATTENUATION: 71-75%

A15 Independence

Independence is the strain for bringing some new character into your hop-driven beers. Higher in esters than Flagship, this yeast will give some fruit character that will take your hoppy beers to a new level. While it shines in pale ales and IPAs, Independence is a great all-around strain and will also work well in stouts and English ales.

TEMP: 60-72F, 16-22C // FLOCCULATION: MEDIUM // ATTENUATION: 72-76%

A18 Joystick

This strain is a fast mover and can be used at the low end of the ale fermentation spectrum to keep it clean. Joystick is a good choice for big, high alcohol, malty beers but has no issues chomping on a hoppy double IPA.

TEMP: 60-70F,16-21C // FLOCCULATION: MED-HIGH // ATTENUATION: 73-77%

A20 Citrus

Citrus cranks out orange and lemon aromas along with some tropical fruit. Use this strain at high temps for big ester production. A wild saccharomyces strain, it will get a bit funky without the worries of a brettanomyces strain.

TEMP: 67-80F, 19-27C // FLOCCULATION: LOW // ATTENUATION:74-78%

This strain tests positive for the STA1 gene via PCR analysis and is therefore considered to be Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus

A24 Dry Hop

Dry Hop is a blend of A20 Citrus and A04 Barbarian.  When this blend goes to work on your hoppy beer, the hop aroma blows up.  The combination of these strains produces amazing aromas of citrus, peach, and apricot that will accentuate your IPA, pale ale, and any other hop-driven beer.

TEMP: 64-74F, 18-23C // FLOCCULATION: MEDIUM // ATTENUATION: 74-78%

This blend contains a strain that tests positive for the STA1 gene via PCR analysis and is therefore considered to be Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus.

A31 Tartan

TEMP: 65-70F, 18-21C // FLOCCULATION: MEDIUM // ATTENUATION: 70-75%

A38 Juice – Guaranteed in Stock

Juicy. Fruity. Juice is an amazing strain for East Coast IPAs. The ester profile of Juice brings out the aromas and flavors of the new school hops and creates a beer that is greater than the sum of its parts. Keep an eye on this strain, it likes to move to the top of fermentation and will climb out the fermenter if too full.

TEMP: 64-74F, 18-23C // FLOCCULATION: MEDIUM // ATTENUATION: 72-76%

This strain has demonstrated the need for higher wort dissolved oxygen (DO) levels than most ale strains. Target 20-25 ppm DO or set the oxygen regulator flow to 50% higher than normal.

GERMAN ALES

G01 Stefon

This is the traditional German strain used to produce world-class Weizen beers where a big banana aroma is required. Balanced with mild clove, depending on your wort profile, this strain will produce amazing beers. Stefon will create a slightly higher level of acidity to give your beer a very crisp finish.

TEMP: 68-78F, 20-26C // FLOCCULATION: MED-LOW // ATTENUATION: 74-78%

B64 Napoleon

This yeast is an insane wort attenuator. Napoleon will destroy the sugars in your saison and farmhouse beers – even the ones in which most brewer’s strains have no interest.
