Mexican Lager yeast from White Labs has been reported as being a strain from the Modelo brewery in Mexico City. It is most commonly used to make light Mexican lagers in the style of Corona. However, it is truly a versatile strain! Vienna-style lagers, much like Negro Modelo, turn out wonderfully when fermented with this strain, as do many dark lagers and richer fest-style lagers, like bocks, doppelbocks, Oktoberfests and Marzens. White Labs calls this one of the best lager strains in their inventory and encourages experimentation with it. Brewers describe it as a clean strain with a crisp finish, and are overwhelmingly pleased with the results when using it.

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!
