The perfect yeast for cream ales, kolsches, or any hybrid beer! This is a favorite yeast of many homebrewers. This blend combines an ale strain and a lager strain to bring the best of both worlds to the table. It produces a lager-like cleanliness in most beers, though a slight ester character may be contributed by the ale yeast. The result is a clean, crips beer where hop bitterness is subdued, and grain character is allowed to shine. Fermentation can produce some sulfur, but this dissipates with age. This strain is perfect for cream ales and kolsches, but also works well in many hybrid beers, or beers where a clean flavor profile is desired. Examples of other styles where this strain is successful would include California Common, wheat beers, pale ales, IPAS, ambers...the list goes on!

ICE PACK INCLUDED
We include complimentary ice packs with ALL liquid yeast orders (if required), but cannot guarantee that the ice packs will stay cold during transit, and thus the yeast can potentially be exposed to hot temperatures. We highly recommend ordering dry yeast during the hot summer months or if you are ordering from a warmer climate. Many times during the winter an ice pack is not needed so we make the determination based on current temperatures and the destination!
