Top 5 Benefits of White Labs Liquid Yeast

1. Selection. The expansive variety of strains with Core and specialty cultures allows you to craft any beer style, NA beer, and non-beer beverages.

2. High Viability & Vitality.  Because of our 21-day process, we make yeast resulting in big plump cells full of nutrients and healthy cell membranes great for sustained viability and reuse.

3. Flavor. Distinct aromas and complex flavors due to the health and viability

4. Flocculation. Predictable flocculation patterns, even after multiple reuses. This results from robust cell membranes with intact flocculation proteins, leading to efficient flocculation.

5. Modular Sizes Resulting in Optimal Pitching Rate. Precise and standardized cell counts based on scientific data for a foolproof fermentation every time.  Modular packages allow customizable calculations for pitch rates to meet your every need.
   
   
   Always store the yeast at temperatures between 36°F to 40°F (2°C–4°C) and follow the recommended best by dates for optimal performance, 5-7 months from QC clear. Keep yeast in the refrigerator until needed. Remove yeast at least two hours before pitching, so the slurry can come close to room temperature. To inoculate, sanitize, twist cap, and pitch. An opened pouch, if refrigerated, can be used until its best by date. DO NOT FREEZE
