Typical Physical and Chemical Properties
Appearance: White to tan colored slurry
| pH: | 4.0 - 5.2 |
| Density: | ~1.0g/ml |
| Total Viable Cells/L: | 1.29 x1012 |
| Standard Viable Cells/ml: | 1.29 x109 |

“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.)
Typical Microbiological Properties
- Colony morphology on WLN
- Consistent with the original mother culture.
- Single morphology.
- Growth on UBA+ (aerobic and anaerobic)
- Less than 1 CFU per 1 X 108 culture cells
- Growth on LCSM for non-STA1+ strains (aerobic)
- Less than 1 CFU per 1 X 108 culture cells
- qPCR detection (Negative results)
- Brettanomyces
- Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus
- Lactobacillus sp.
- Pediococcus sp.
- Hop resistant bacteria

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 to learn more
Storage and Shelf Life
- Store the cultures refrigerated at or as close to 33oF 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.
Packaging
- Rigid 1,2,4, and 8L food grade HDPE containers.
- Volume per container dependent on order size.
