PurePitch® Next Generation, an evolution of White Labs’ PurePitch® – the most superior and consistent yeast on the market – has been made even better with new packaging powered by FlexCell® Technology for ease of use and a pitch rate resulting in a foolproof fermentation every time.
  
 
Why Purepitch Next Generation
We developed PurePitch® Next Generation after feedback from brewers like you, wanting a product that was easier to use, flexible and provided a fermentation you could count on every single time.

 

Improved Performance


PurePitch® Next Generation combines the ease of a bottle and the innovation of PurePitch®, offering a modular pouch with a cap and a consistent cell concentration intended to pitch at 7.5 million cells/ mL; a commercially recommended pitching rate to ensure a foolproof fermentation. 


 


Our new Nano Bundle pack is available now! A modular option for brewers from 1-3 hectoliters, one Nano Bundle is intended to pitch into 1 Hectoliter at a pitch rate of 7.5 million cells/mL; a commercially recommended pitching rate to ensure a foolproof fermentation. You also still have the option to order our larger PurePitch® Next Generation Pro Pouch (intended for 5 hectoliters), giving you the option to use a partial pouch, depending on your batch size, with the twist-and-pour cap.

Increased Fermentation Speed

The demand for higher pitch rates has been steadily rising for decades. To fit brewer's needs we’ve optimized the cell count of PurePitch® Next Generation to ensure brewers worldwide see consistent, clean, and speedy fermentations. With our consistent pitch rates, brewers have seen shortened lag times resulting in quicker gravity drops.

Increased Viability

Improved shelf life – through process improvements and laboratory analysis, we monitor the glycogen content of the yeast cells to give them more energy when starting a fermentation.

PurePitch® Next Generation features a breathable proprietary dual-layer film designed to allow for more effective off-gassing to reduce product inflation and deliver higher viability and shelf life for the yeast. While the industry standard shelf life is 2-4 weeks, PurePitch®  Next Generation achieves an impressive five to seven-month shelf life.
 

InnovationPowered by FlexCell Technology


Because we never stop, PurePitch® Next Generation has an improved proprietary film designed specifically for White Labs and allows for one-way off-gassing to promote yeast health and viability. The cap allows for ease of use, no more scissors or fumbling with two-layer film, and the option to open and reseal for sampling or using partial pouches.

 

Technology at your fingertips

A QR code on each package directs you to all the information you need to make the best beer: the quality report of every lot, additional strain-specific information, data, and recipes. ​White Labs is the industry leader in quality with the same quality and care taken for every culture, including proprietary qPCR methods (developed with Invisible Sentinel) for higher limits of detection. The online pitch rate calculator will recommend the right amount of yeast for a foolproof fermentation or allow you to customize the amount based on your desired pitching rate.


Quality

White Labs is the industry leader in quality with the same quality and care taken for every culture, including proprietary qPCR methods (developed with Invisible Sentinel) for higher limits of detection. With 38 quality checkpoints for every single strain, you can be assured that all products released from White Labs have passed rigorous tests to ensure the highest viability and purity at the time of QC release.
 

Largest Selection

With 81 Core strains and countless more in the Vault, we have a strain for every beer, whether you’re using a trusty workhorse like WLP001 California Ale Yeast® or experimenting with something new and rare in the Vault. 

 

Commitment

Thanks to our optimized FlexCell process, PurePitch Next Generation uses 70% less plastic than before and is 58% less plastic than traditional liquid yeast packaging*.  We are committed to the environment and continuously working to reduce our carbon footprint, including even greener packaging.

How to recycle:

  • Caps can be removed and recycled curbside  
  • Recycle pouch at your local retail store with #4 plastics collection programs
*based on competitors' rigid packaging
