CellarScience® NECTAR Dry Yeast | Specialty Ale | Premium Beer Yeast
10 reviews

NECTAR is a unique yeast strain recommended for fruit-forward Pale Ales and IPAs Emphasizes fresh malt flavor while contributing fruit, citrus, and floral flavors Designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no pre-oxygenation before pitching required Ferment between 63-72°F CellarScience offers high-quality yeast that is easy to use, consistent, and available at a tremendous value A fun, unique yeast with a UK pedigree that emphasizes fresh malt flavor while producing fruity, citrus and floral flavors. Perfect for Pale Ales and IPA's. Like all CellarScience yeast, NECTAR is eligible for direct pitch straight into your wort. CellarScience provides 12g of yeast per sachet, which is up to 9% more than any other brand of dry yeast. Every batch of yeast is PCR tested to ensure quality. NECTAR has been selling to pro breweries for awhile but was just recently packaged down to sachets for homebrewers. Dosage: One sachet is enough to treat a 5–6 gallon batch. When calculating for larger batches, use at a rate of 2–3 grams per gallon of wort. We recommend rounding up by one full sachet rather than measuring out the yeast exactly. Direct Pitch or Rehydrate: NECTAR yeast is designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no oxygenation required in the initial fermentation. Our aerobic growth process makes this possible by creating dry yeast with high viability and high sterol levels. NECTAR yeast is pre-loaded with essential nutrients to ensure a successful, complete fermentation. While not required, some brewers prefer to rehydrate yeast. To hydrate yeast, first, sanitize the yeast brick and scissors. Use 10 grams of sterilized tap water between 85-95°F (29-35°C) mixed with 0.25 grams of FermStart per gram of yeast. Sprinkle yeast on the water. Allow the slurry to stand undisturbed for 20 minutes, then swirl. Use small amounts of wort to adjust to within 10°F (6°C) of wort temperature before pitching. Ferment between 63-72°F (18-22°C). Optimum Fermentation Temp: 63-72°F Flocculation: Medium Alcohol Tolerance: 12% ABV Similar Strains: N/A Attenuation: 75-80% Gluten-free CellarScience Yeast: For years liquid yeast has been sold as the higher quality option but times are changing. Yes, 20 years ago dry yeast was made by bread yeast producers and the quality was not as good as liquid yeast. CellarScience is helping to flip that script with a full lineup of high-quality dry yeasts. Cell count and viability is usually higher than commercial liquid yeast pitches, which vary from pouch to pouch and don't ship well. CellarScience yeast can be pitched directly in most batches of wort, offering significant time savings. Yeast that is quick and easy to use, high quality, and available at a reasonable cost adds up to a tremendous value. Quality yeast that doesn't "break the brink". CellarScience Nutrients: For high gravity ferments consider rehydrating yeast with CellarScience FermStart yeast hydration nutrient. For high gravity or low nutrient wort, feed your fermentation with CellarScience FermFed DAP Free complex yeast nutrient mix.

CellarScience® FermFed DAP Free | Yeast Nutrient
3 reviews

100% Natural Yeast Nutrient: FermFed DAP Free is a fully organic nutrient blend, derived from yeast autolysis, rich in amino acids, vitamins, and essential minerals like zinc and magnesium, ensuring optimal yeast health for successful fermentations. Organically Derived Nitrogen: Unlike traditional nutrient formulations containing inorganic diammonium phosphate (DAP), FermFed DAP Free provides organic nitrogen, reducing the risk of off-flavors and promoting a cleaner fermentation. Ideal for Hard Seltzer and Beer Fermentations: FermFed DAP Free is the preferred nutrient for hard seltzer fermentations and works well in beer, promoting healthy yeast activity even in high alcohol fermentations (up to 10% ABV). Comprehensive Yeast Protection: The blend includes sterols for alcohol and temperature resistance, mannoproteins to retain aromas, and essential B-vitamins, zinc, and magnesium to support yeast performance and prevent stuck fermentations. The ideal nutrient blend for beer fermentations, FermFed DAP Free is a 100% natural formulation derived from the autolysis of very specific yeast strains naturally high in free amino acids, sterols, mannoproteins, zinc, magnesium, and niacin, along with vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6, and B12 for a complete yeast health regimen. As the name suggests, this unique formulation does not contain the traditional inorganic diammonium phosphate, but does provide organically derived nitrogen. Help your yeast start fermentation on the right foot with FermFed DAP Free by CellarScience®. FermFed DAP Free vs Regular FermFed Regular FermFed contains DAP, diammonium phosphate, which is an inorganic nitrogen source. If you know your fermentation needs nitrogen, typically in non-malt fermentations such as wine, DAP is more readily processed by the yeast than the organic nitrogen found in FermFed DAP free. However, if the DAP is not processed by the yeast, and left behind in the beer, there is a higher risk of off flavors. At the suggested usage rates, FermFed DAP Free provides 30ppm of organic FAN, Free Available Nitrogen, while FermFed provides 38ppm of inorganic FAN. For Use in Hard Seltzer We have found that FermFed DAP Free is the preferred nutrient mix for Seltzer fermentations, with the organic nitrogen component being more than enough nitrogen to support a healthy fermentation. For high alcohol fermentations closer to 10% ABV, multiple additions of FermFed DAP free are required. How Much Do I Add and When? The general recommendation for most beer fermentations is to add 1.5 grams per gallon. Mix the nutrient in a small slurry of water and add to the fermentation prior to pitching yeast. How it Works The different components of FermFed DAP Free work in different ways to feed and protect your yeast. The complex and organic nitrogen in FermFed DAP Free helps eliminate excessive yeast growth in the initial phases helping to reduce fermentation heat spikes at the start of fermentation. Included sterols make the yeast membrane more resistant to alcohol and to high temperatures. The collection of B-vitamins along with zinc and magnesium are essential for enzymatic activity, alcohol tolerance, and yeast health. Mannoproteins help avoid the aromatic stripping during the fermentation by binding esters and terpenes and not allowing them to be driven off by CO2. The included yeast hull components act as receptors to bind up fatty acids that can accumulate and cause stuck fermentations. For a full yeast nutritional plan, use FermStart when rehydrating yeast.

This Erlenmyer flask is huge, coming in at 5000 ml (5L!), making it the ideal vessel to make a large yeast starter for a 10+ gallon batch. The best brewers make large yeast starters to get their beer fermenting fast, and most of them do so in an Erlenmeyer flask. Large populations of active yeast help ensure flavorful beer free of off flavors. Because this flask is made from borosilicate glass you can move it from a boil into a cold water bath for cooling. This means you can do the whole process in one container, keeping it simple and helping to reduce the risk of contamination when transferring from one container to another. Double Boiler Method It is important for your safety to heat water in the flask with a heat source that distributes heat evenly. Morebeer! recommends using the "double boiler method." This process involves using a boiling water bath on the outside of the flask to heat up the water inside the flask. All you need is a kettle 3 gallons or larger. This process is much safer and efficient. If the flask should break or boil over, your kettle will be there to collect the contents, thus keeping your stove clean and keeping you safe. Safety First: Please take us up on a great deal - save $14.95 when you purchase a 5000ml flask and our BE300 5 gallon stainless steel kettle at the same time. Use Promo code SAFETY1 at checkout. Features Massive 5L (5000ML) Capacity Made from Borosilicate Glass (also known as Pyrex) Fantastic price for a flask of this size Produced for MoreBeer! Why make a yeast starter? (from our FAQ) We build starters for 3 main reasons. First, to ensure yeast health. By making a starter 1-3 days in advance, you ensure that your yeast is healthy and strong and ready to do its job. Second, to create more yeast. By making the starter you will increase the cell count of the yeast, giving you a better chance of keeping bacteria's and wild yeasts from fermenting your wort. Third, if you are making high gravity beers. If you are making a high gravity beer (1.060+) you will need more yeast to start the ferment faster. High gravity beers will also finish more completely when you pitch ample quantities of yeast. In the lab world, these flasks are known as "Student Grade". Student grade flasks may have small scratches and air bubbles. A great flask for making yeast starters! For a stopper we recommend a size #8-9 (FE498 or FE49). Kegland Part Number: KL04008

CellarScience® FermStart | Yeast Rehydration Nutrient
8 reviews

Enhanced Yeast Performance: FermStart provides a concentrated blend of micronutrients, including amino acids, sterols, and vitamins, which helps yeast transition quickly from dormant to active, ensuring a healthy and robust fermentation process. Faster Fermentation Start: By supplying readily assimilable nutrients, FermStart allows yeast to skip energy-consuming steps, promoting faster yeast cell multiplication and out-competing wild yeast, ensuring your selected yeast dominates the fermentation. Strong Cell Membrane Support: Sterols in FermStart help yeast cells maintain membrane elasticity, enhancing their ability to survive and perform well under tough fermentation conditions, ensuring consistent fermentation results. Antioxidant Protection: The inclusion of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, helps protect yeast cells from oxidative damage during rehydration, improving yeast health and promoting a more stable and efficient fermentation process. If you’re rehydrating beer yeast, it’s quick and easy to ensure a perfect ferment by adding FermStart by CellarScience®. FermStart is a concentrated micronutrient blend that helps yeast during the critical phase in which they transition from dried and dormant back into healthy and active. FermStart is added to your rehydration water so that your yeast absorbs the nutrients as they absorb the water. When gravities exceed 15° Plato or 1.060 starting gravity, it is recommended to rehydrate your yeast. To ensure a perfect ferment that reaches its full flavor potential, rehydrate your yeast with FermStart. How Much? FermStart is a super concentrated formula, which is very convenient when you are rehydrating large amounts of yeast. Use 1 gram of Fermstart for every 4 grams of yeast. We offer some suggested ranges for the amount of water to use below. Examples: 12g yeast - Add 3g FermStart to roughly 50ml of water 500g yeast - Add 125g FermStart to roughly 1500 ml of water The Science of How it Works FermStart is rich in readily assimilable amino acids, sterols, vitamins, and natural glutathione. Readily assimilable means that the size of the molecules present in FermStart are extremely small and easily absorbed by the yeast cell. This is obtained by centrifuge and allows FermStart to be extremely concentrated and not contain filler. The availability of readily assimilable amino acids allows the yeast cell to skip the step in which amino acids would be synthesized within the cell. This saved energy is instead directed into multiplication. Faster yeast cell multiplication means a faster start allowing your yeast to out-compete wild yeast. Wild yeast have unknown flavors and fermentation behavior so it is important to give the yeast you selected the best chance to dominate the fermentation. Sterols help the cell membrane regain and maintain elasticity helping to ensure a perfect start and continued performance throughout the fermentation. The strong cell membrane helps ensure that the yeast can survive and complete alcoholic fermentation under tough conditions. Glutathione is a very special natural antioxidant and detoxifier made up of three amino acids cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. It is extremely important for maintaining intracellular health by preventing damage to cellular components during the very oxidative process of rehydration.

CellarScience® FermFed | Yeast Nutrient
2 reviews

Comprehensive Yeast Nutrition: FermFed provides a complex blend of essential nutrients like diammonium phosphate (DAP), thiamin, amino acids, sterols, and vitamins (B2, B5, B6, B12), supporting yeast health and optimizing fermentation. Prevents Off-Flavors: FermFed’s nitrogen content helps prevent the production of undesirable compounds like hydrogen sulfide (rotten eggs), ensuring cleaner and more desirable flavors during fermentation. Enhanced Fermentation Performance: Ingredients such as sterols and mannoproteins promote yeast cell strength and improve the retention of aromatic compounds, helping yeast finish fermentation smoothly while enhancing flavor retention. Versatile Application: Ideal for wine and non-malt fermentations with known nitrogen deficiencies, FermFed is also available in a DAP-free version suitable for malt-based fermentations with unknown nitrogen levels. FermFed is a complex nutrient blend of diammonium phosphate, thiamin, amino acids, sterols, pantothenic acid, mannoproteins, protective microelements derived from yeast hulls, and vitamins B2, B5, B6, & B12. FermFed also contains the organic and inorganic nitrogen (DAP) that yeast need. Help your yeast reach the end of fermentation safely while producing amazing flavors with FermFed by CellarScience®. FermFed is a great choice for wine and other non-malt based fermenations where there is a known nitrogen deficiency. For beer or other fermentations where nitrogen levels are unknown we recommend FermFed DAP Free. The organic nitrogen supplied in FermFed DAP Free is sufficient for all malt fermentations and poses less potential issues if not consumed by the yeast. Read more about FermFed DAP Free. How Much Do I Add and When? For most beer fermentations add 1 gram per gallon. Mix the nutrient in a small slurry of water and add to the wort just prior to pitching yeast. How it Works The different components of FermFed work in different ways to feed and protect your yeast. When yeast do not have enough nitrogen, they are more likely to produce hydrogen sulfide (rotten eggs). FermFed helps to eliminate this problem by providing enough nitrogen for most situations. As yeast divide and multiply they get weaker and might not be able to properly finish fermentation as the alcohol content rises. Feeding them sterols help cells maintain membrane fluidity so that the yeast can properly function. Mannoprotein molecules bind esters and terpenes and work as an anchor to keep them in solution so they are not driven off by CO2 during fermentation. Pantothenic acid is added to help reduce the production of hydrogen sulfide. Thiamine is important for yeast metabolism. Vitamins B2, B5, B6, & B12 are important for general yeast health. For a full yeast nutritional plan, use FermStart when rehydrating yeast.

MONK is a classic Belgian ale strain renowned for producing clean, yet complex, beers Perfect for Belgian-style Blondes and Pales or Abbey-style Dubbels, Trippels, and Quads Designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no pre-oxygenation before pitching required Ferment between 62-77°F CellarScience offers high-quality yeast that is easy to use, consistent, and available at a tremendous value A classic Belgian ale strain renowned for producing clean, yet complex, beers. Perfect for Belgian-style Blondes and Pales or Abbey-style Dubbels, Trippels, and Quads. A clean strain that will still impart some delicate dried fruit notes and restrained phenolics. Like all CellarScience yeast, MONK is eligible for direct pitch straight into your wort. CellarScience provides 12g of yeast per sachet, which is up to 9% more than any other brand of dry yeast. Every batch of yeast is PCR tested to ensure quality. Dosage: One sachet is enough to treat a 5–6 gallon batch. When calculating for larger batches, use at a rate of 2–3 grams per gallon of wort. We recommend rounding up by one full sachet rather than measuring out the yeast exactly. Direct Pitch or Rehydrate: MONK yeast is designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no oxygenation required in the initial fermentation. Our aerobic growth process makes this possible by creating dry yeast with high viability and high sterol levels. MONK yeast is pre-loaded with essential nutrients to ensure a successful, complete fermentation. While not required, some brewers prefer to rehydrate yeast. To hydrate yeast, first, sanitize the yeast brick and scissors. Use 10 grams of sterilized tap water between 85-95°F (29-35°C) mixed with 0.25 grams of FermStart per gram of yeast. Sprinkle yeast on the water. Allow the slurry to stand undisturbed for 20 minutes, then swirl. Use small amounts of wort to adjust to within 10°F (6°C) of wort temperature before pitching. Ferment between 62-77°F (16-25°C). Optimum Fermentation Temp: 62-77°F Flocculation: Medium Alcohol Tolerance: 12% ABV (WY1762 12%) Attenuation: 75-85% Similar Strains: WY1762, WLP540 Gluten-free CellarScience Yeast: For years liquid yeast has been sold as the higher quality option but times are changing. Yes, 20 years ago dry yeast was made by bread yeast producers and the quality was not as good as liquid yeast. CellarScience is helping to flip that script with a full lineup of high-quality dry yeasts. Cell count and viability is usually higher than commercial liquid yeast pitches, which vary from pouch to pouch and don't ship well. CellarScience yeast can be pitched directly in most batches of wort, offering significant time savings. Yeast that is quick and easy to use, high quality, and available at a reasonable cost adds up to a tremendous value. Quality yeast that doesn't "break the brink". CellarScience Nutrients: For high gravity ferments consider rehydrating yeast with CellarScience FermStart yeast hydration nutrient. For high gravity or low nutrient wort, feed your fermentation with CellarScience FermFed DAP Free complex yeast nutrient mix.

Deluxe Yeast Starter Kit - 2000 mL
28 reviews

The Deluxe Yeast Starter Kit will have you making top shelf yeast starters right out of the box. Yeast starters offer higher cell counts at the time the yeast is pitched, leading to faster, healthier fermentations and better tasting beer! Any beer will benefit from a yeast starter, but they're especially recommended for high gravity beers and cold fermenting lagers. This kit includes step-by-step instructions for making a 2L starter, as well as some fantastic upgrades that set it apart from our standard Y320 starter kit. Once you've prepared the starter, sanitize and drop in the stir bar, install the foam stopper, and place the flask on the magnetic stir plate. Turn the dial up until a shallow vortex forms. Magnetic Stir Plate A stir plate will greatly improve the quality of your yeast starter by providing continuous aeration. Yeast need oxygen to produce sterols and multiply. When all the available oxygen is used up the yeast will stop reproducing. Using a stir plate will ensure that your yeast have all the oxygen they could ever want and they'll be able to reproduce as much as possible. Foam Stopper Many yeast starter kits include a rubber stopper and airlock, but we believe a foam stopper is the clear choice. The foam stopper will allow air to flow freely into your flask while keeping pesky bugs and other contaminants out. Simply spray or dunk the stopper in sanitizer before installing it. If you're going to store the starter for a couple days after its finished, remove the foam stopper and cover the flask with sanitized aluminum foil. Foam Axe Foam Axe from CellarScience® is a uniquely formulated anti-foaming agent which reduces surface tension so bubbles are Axed before they can form. Foam Axe can be used in the kettle to help prevent boil-overs and works great in your fermenter or starter flask to reduce Krausen—stopping your viable yeast from fermenting out the top of your vessel. Just one drop in your flask is all you need. Flask Marker This wax pencil is used for writing on glass surfaces and washes off easily. Great for labeling and writing notes on your yeast starter. Kit Includes: 2000 mL Erlenmeyer flask (student grade) Magnetic Stir Plate (stir bar included) Foam Stopper 1/2 lb Dried Malt Extract 1 oz Fermaid K yeast nutrient 1 oz Foam Axe foam control Flask Marker wax pencil In the lab world, these flasks are known as "Student Grade". A great flask for making yeast starters! (Student grade is not the highest grade flasks and will have minor defects)

Frequently Asked Questions

Homebrew Starter Kits Collection Article +

Test

Can I make a starter with WLP200 +

Yes! The difference in growth rate between California and Engilsh is pretty minimal so doing a starter won't change the population ratio.

What is the advantage of a yeast starter? +

We build starters for 3 main reasons. First, to ensure yeast health. By making a starter 1-3 days in advance, you ensure that your yeast is healthy and strong and ready to do its job. Second, to create more yeast. By making the starter you will increase the cell count of the yeast, giving you a better chance of keeping bacteria's and wild yeasts from fermenting your wort. Third, if you are making high gravity beers. If you are making a high gravity beer (1.060+) you will need more yeast to start the ferment faster. High gravity beers will also finish more completely when you pitch ample quantities of yeast. More information on the subject: Before yeast start to convert sugars to alcohol, they go through two stages of respiration. It is during this time that they are building their cell walls up to be strong and healthy. As soon as the yeast eat all the oxygen in the wort, their cells tell them to switch to eating sugars. It is at this point that we as brewers want the yeast to be introduced into the wort so there is a minimal lag time. A starter will do two things for you: one, it will allow the yeast a media in which to "wake up", and two, it will allow the yeast a good environment for multiplication. The more hungry, healthy, and viable yeast cells you have, the faster fermentation begins, and the cleaner the flavors that are produced.

How long will my lager fermentation last? +

It depends on the yeast strain and temperature conditions, but you can expect fermentation with a lager to be done within four weeks. This is not a hard and fast rule. You may have fermentation that is done in as little as two weeks as well. We recommend a minimum primary fermentation at 48-50F for three weeks and a diacetyl rest for three days at 54F. For all lagers it is best to make a yeast starter 48 hours in advance to give your yeast time to replicate in preparation for a cold environment. Don't be alarmed if you don't see krausen (foam) for 2-3 days after pitching yeast this is normal behavior for lager yeast.

At what temperature should I add a lager yeast? +

There are two methods of pitching lager yeasts. Brewers use both methods with success, but each brewer tends to have a preferred approach. A) Starting Warm then Cool Down. This is the easiest method for the average homebrewer. Pitch yeast at 60-65F, reduce the wort temperature 10F per each 12 hours until reaching the desired fermentation temperature of 48-54F. This method works well without forming high amounts of esters because most esters are produced after the first 12 hours. B) Starting Cold using Twice the Yeast, or use a Yeast Starter to "Quick-Start" Fermentation. Pitch four vials of yeast at the recommended fermentation temperature (48-54F). Or, use a Yeast Starter (see next page), to make a 1-2 liter yeast starter per each 5 gallons. Lager yeast ferment well at this temperature, but they grow very slowly. If you use this method, fermentation activity won't show for 48-72 hours. Cli

At what temperature should I ferment my beer? +

First we need to know whether you are fermenting an ale or a lager. An ale will typically be best at a temperature of 62-72 degrees. Most ales excluding Belgians ferment cleaner beer at the lower end around 62-66F. A lager will typically ferment best between 48 to 54 degrees. Those are just ranges in which most ales or lagers will perform appropriately. There are no exceptions where certain ale yeast can ferment below 62 degrees and there are certain lager yeasts which can ferment above 55 degrees. Every yeast has a recommended temperature range. We suggest you research your yeast strain before fermenting to understand its temperament. Get to know your yeast! They're our friends!
