“Concentrated” Packaging

• Some strains propagate to high cell densities.
• To lower shipping costs, these strains may be packaged at concentrated levels (same total cells in less volume).
• Contact us for specific packaged cell count (cells/ml.)

Product Usage

Pitch Rate

Desired pitch rates may vary with fermentation conditions.
* Dial in your fermentation with our brewing calculators

Pitch Temp.

Directly add refrigerated yeast slurry to wort at the desired fermentation temperature.

Oxygenation

Oxygenate wort to achieve a DO range of 15-25ppm DO.

• Check out our oxygenation video for more information

Storage and Shelf Life

• Store the cultures at or as close to 33°F as possible.
• Do not freeze.
• The shelf life is dependent on the strain and the storage temperature.
• Use the yeast within 2 weeks of delivery.  
• For longer storage, please contact customer service for guidance.
