NE HAZY is a low-flocculating, biotransformative yeast designed for NE-style hazy beers Enhances mouthfeel, turbidity, and hop aroma, creating a juicy, pillowy body and stable haze perfect for Hazy IPAs and juicy doubles Designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no pre-oxygenation before pitching required Ferment between 62-75°F NE HAZY – The Yeast for Hazy, Juicy Beers NE HAZY is our specialized ale yeast for New England style (NE) hazy beers. If you’re looking to craft a juicy, flavor-packed brew with a lasting, stable haze, this strain has you covered. This low-flocculating, biotransformative strain enhances mouthfeel and turbidity through its interaction with glycoproteins and hop compounds, making it ideal for NEIPAs, Hazy IPAs, Pale Ales, and Juicy Doubles. During fermentation, it releases mannoproteins, a class of glycoproteins from its cell walls that create a soft, pillowy body while reinforcing haze stability.  NE HAZY actively participates in biotransformation, modifying hop-derived polyphenols and interacting with protein-rich compounds from wheat and oats. This process forms stable protein-polyphenol complexes that lock haze into suspension and intensify the beer’s juicy, full-bodied character. The result is an exceptionally stable haze, smooth-drinking beer with elevated mouthfeel, hop saturation, and tropical fruit expression. It ferments cleanly across a wide temperature range (62–75°F / 17–24°C) and is pressure-tolerant up to 12 PSI, making it highly versatile for a variety of brewhouse setups. Amplifies Hop Aroma & Flavor: Boosts tropical and citrus notes for NE-style juiciness Enhances Juicy Character: Transforms hop precursors into free thiols like grapefruit, passionfruit, guava, pineapple, peach, apricot, tangerine, and lime Boosts Haze Stability: Builds durable haze through glycoprotein and polyphenol interactions Flexible Fermentation: Performs across 62–75°F (17–24°C); pressure-tolerant to 12 PSI Robust & Reliable: Medium-low flocculation, consistent haze retention Attenuation: ~75–80% Alcohol Tolerance: 12% ABV Direct Pitch: No rehydration needed Quality Control: Every batch PCR-verified for purity and consistency High Cell Count: 15 g per sachet — over 36% more than standard 11 g dry yeast packs Dosage One sachet treats 5–6 gal (19–23 L). For larger batches, use 2–3 g/gal (0.5–0.8 g/L). Round up to the next full sachet rather than measuring precisely. Like all CellarScience yeasts, NE HAZY delivers professional-grade performance for both homebrewers and craft brewers producing the saturated, juicy haze that defines the modern New England IPA.

Fast-Acting Clarifier: SilaFine quickly creates crystal-clear beer by removing yeast and haze-forming particles, delivering high-quality results in as little as 24 hours. Preserves Beer Foam: Unlike other fining agents, SilaFine targets only haze-forming particles and yeast, leaving foam-active proteins intact, ensuring a great beer head in every pour. Versatile Application: Effective both in finished beer and during the whirlpool stage, SilaFine offers flexibility for brewers, with different dosing options for quicker, compact sedimentation. Vegan-Friendly & Purity Compliant: Made from pure, natural silica sol, SilaFine is vegan-friendly and complies with the Reinheitsgebot German beer purity law. SilaFine is an easy-to-use, vegan friendly fining agent that quickly creates crystal clear beer by removing yeast and haze-forming particles. This highly effective clarifier will eliminate or greatly reduce the need for filtration without affecting flavor. SilaFine is a unique, negatively charged silica sol fining agent that binds with positively charged haze active proteins and polyphenols to create an electrostatic net that also drags down yeast cells. SilaFine does not target foam active head forming proteins, so the beer foam in glass is unaffected. Use: Add 10ml or 1 tbsp per 5 gallons of finished beer. Gently rouse the beer to fully disperse the clarifier. SilaFine will work to drop out yeast at fermentation temperatures, but for full effectiveness on haze-inducing particles, we recommend adding it to beer that has been chilled below 39°F. If the beer has not cleared after 24 hours, a second dose can be added. SilaFine should be stored cool, but do not freeze. Unitanks & Brites: If you are using a brite tank, SilaFine is best added to the beer stream inline when pumping from fermenter to brite. If you are using a Unitank and no brite tank, add to the top of the Unitank while rousing with CO2 for 5-10 minutes from the bottom. Or you can use a pump loop to recirculate the beer in a Unitank, instead of rousing with CO2. If added at ideal temperatures below 39°F, and well dispersed into the tank, clarification can take as little 8-12 hours. Otherwise clarification may take up to 48 hours. We advise against using more than the recommended amount, as overdosing can actually increase haze temporarily and cause a longer settling period.  Dosage Rate in Whirlpool: SilaFine can also be used in the whirlpool at a rate of 0.5-1ml per gallon to achieve a quicker and more compact sedimentation in the kettle.   Additional Notes: SilaFine is based on a special selection of commercial grade amorphous silicon dioxide, also known as silica sol, at a concentration of 30%. Silica sol is known by a few names in brewing including colloidal silica, acidified silicates, silicon dioxide, and silicic acid. Unlike some other silica sols, SilaFine is not treated with aluminum oxide. SilaFine is a pure mineral and complies with Reinheitsgebot German beer purity law. Do not freeze. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.   The recommended shelf life is 12 months from the date the package is opened.   Allergen Free GMO Free

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.

Prevents Boil-Overs: One drop per gallon eliminates messy boil-overs, making your brewing process cleaner and safer, saving time on cleanup. Increases Fermenter Capacity: Reduces Krausen foam during fermentation, allowing more beer volume and minimizing the risk of messy blowouts. Improves Head Retention: Enhances head formation in finished beer by preserving foam-forming proteins that would otherwise be lost during fermentation. Food-Grade and Easy to Use: Made from food-grade silicone, Foam Axe safely breaks up foam with just a few drops, settling out before bottling or kegging. Stop boil overs in the kettle and limit foaming in your fermenter with CellarScience Foam Axe. This uniquely formulated anti-foaming agent reduces surface tension so bubbles are Axed before they can form. Foam Axe actually increases head formation in the finished beer by retaining foam forming proteins that would have normally blown off during fermentation. Use it in your boil kettle to prevent boil-overs for a cleaner, safer process. Then add Foam Axe to your fermenter to reduce Krausen, save beer, and increase the volume capacity of your fermenter. In the Kettle: Nobody likes a boil over as they are messy and take considerable time to clean up. Save time, beer, your burner or stove, (and possibly your relationship) by adding 1 drop per gallon of Foam Axe into your kettle and eliminate boil overs from your brew day!     In the Fermenter: Foam Axe works like magic in the fermenter. Just 2 drops per gallon at the start of fermentation will keep your airlock and blowoff clean. We recommend adding before pitching yeast and rousing well while you aerate your wort. Many commercial breweries use Foam Axe to increase fermenter capacity and homebrewers can do the same. Additional Notes: Foam Axe is made from food-grade silicone and works by breaking up foam particles and dispersing surface tension. Foam Axe settles out of beer prior to bottling or kegging. Store cool and in an environment below 90°F. Do not freeze. The recommended shelf life is 6 months from the date the package is opened.

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.

Efficient Haze Reduction: Clearzyme targets haze-causing proteins in beer, ensuring a clear brew without affecting flavor, aroma, or head retention. Simplifies Brewing Process: Eliminates the need for cold crashing, saving time and energy by breaking down proteins at fermentation temperatures between 50-68°F. Gluten Reduction: Reduces gluten levels in beers made with barley and wheat to below 20ppm, making it suitable for gluten-sensitive consumers. Easy to Use: Just 1/4 tsp per 5 gallons added at the start of fermentation is all that's needed to achieve optimal results. Easily make clear beer by adding Clearzyme to your fermenter at the same time you pitch your yeast. This enzymatic solution targets and breaks down haze-inducing proteins so they cannot later bind with tannins to create beer haze. Clearzyme by CellarScience specifically targets haze-active proteins, so it has no negative effect on flavor, aroma, or head retention. One of the huge benefits of Clearzyme is that it removes the need to cold crash, saving time and energy. Use: Add 1/4 tsp per 5 gallons at the start of fermentation. Works best at a temperature range between 50-68°F and pH of 4-6. Additional Notes: Clearzyme is a protease, or proteolytic, enzyme that partially or totally hydrolyzes peptide bonds in protein. The resulting protein fractions are then too small to bond with the polyphenols in hops. It also breaks down the gluten protein that causes allergic reactions. Beers made with barley and wheat that have had Clearzyme added typically show gluten levels below 20ppm. Store at temperatures under 70°F. Immediately recap bottle after each use. The recommended shelf life is 12 months from the date the package is opened.

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.

Improves Mash Flow and Efficiency: Glucabuster breaks down glucans, arabinoxylan, and cellulose to prevent stuck mashes and slow runoff, ensuring smoother lautering and improved yield. Enhances Downstream Filtering: By breaking down polysaccharides, Glucabuster helps simplify filtering in later brewing stages, ensuring cleaner and faster processes. Effective Across a Wide Range of Temperatures and pH Levels: Works efficiently within a temperature range of 120-185°F and an ideal pH range of 4.7-7.0, making it versatile for various brewing conditions. Highly Concentrated and Easy to Use: With just 1/4 tsp needed per 5-gallon batch, Glucabuster offers a highly concentrated solution for improving mash flow and overall brewing efficiency. Glucabuster by CellarScience improves lautering and yield while making potential downstream filtering easier. Highly concentrated ß-glucanase breaks down glucans that can lead to stuck mashes and slow runoff. Xylanase and Cellulase break down the polysaccharide chains of arabinoxylan and cellulose. Together, all three enzymes help keep today’s challenging mashes flowing right. Use: Add 1/4 tsp per 5-gallon batch at mash-in. Glucabuster works in a range of 120-185°F and ideally at a pH range of 4.7-7.0. Additional Notes: Endosperm cell walls are made up of non-starch polysaccharides, of which, in barley, β-glucans account for 75% with arabinoxylan (pentosan) and cellulose accounting for most of the rest. In wheat, the arabinoxylan content is higher. Glucabuster is composed of the cell wall hydrolases β-glucanase, xylanase, and cellulase, which break down the β-14 bonds in these polysaccharides. These enzymes can be equally important to their more famous starch degradation enzymes, α-Amylase and β-Amylase.  Glucanase, xylanase, and cellulase are naturally found in malt but decrease during the kilning stage of malting. Depending on your recipe, adding these enzymes is important to assist with lautering and later with filtering. Refrigeration is recommended, but store at least below 70°F. The recommended shelf life is 12 months from the date the package is opened.

Unique amino acid blend activates Ehrlich pathway causing beer and wine yeast to produce tropical flavors Contributes complexity to beer styles like Hazys where tropical flavors are desired. Pairs perfectly with CellarScience HAZY Yeast Contributes tropical complexity to Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier wines when used in conjunction with CellarScience CITRUS Wine Yeast Enhance tropical flavors in your beer or wine with CellarScience Tropic Thunder. By changing the amino acid mix you feed your yeast you can influence the final flavors yeast produce. To understand why, we have to first explain the Ehrlich pathway which was discovered over 100 years ago by German Biochemist Felix Ehrlich. Yeast absorbs and breaks down a specific set of amino acids very slowly over the course of fermentation. The yeast cells incorporate the amino group into their cell structure, leaving an alpha-keto acid. This acid is turned into fusel alcohol by the yeast and then returned back out into the wort. This production of fusel alcohols via the breakdown of specific amino acids is called the Ehrlich Pathway. For Beer Fusel alcohol may scare you as a brewer... we get it, you are trained to avoid these! But certain fusel alcohols actually have a really positive effect on the final beer flavor. The idea behind CellarScience Tropic Thunder is we have selected specific amino acids that when fed to your yeast will result in the production of a small amount of fusel alcohols that contribute to the tropical flavors of mango, pineapple, and coconut. Tropic Thunder nutrient is often used to help create complexity in hazy IPA, but feel free to use it in any style where tropical flavors would be welcome—you are only limited by your imagination! When used in beer, Tropic Thunder can replace your typical yeast nutrient as it is itself an organic, DAP-free nutrient. If you typically use a complex nutrient that includes DAP, you can continue to add it separately as normal. For Wine Tropic Thunder is perfect for Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and other select styles where tropical fruit flavors are part of your vision. In addition to selecting a thiol releasing yeast strain such as CellarScience CITRUS, Tropic Thunder can help bring complimentary tropical fusel flavors via the Ehrlich pathway. As a part of the overall mix, along with thiols and terpenes, the complexity of Sauvignon Blanc or Viognier is enhanced. Tropic Thunder can also be used in select Chardonnays or any white wines where tropical mango and pineapple flavors are desired. When added at the rate of 0.6 to 2 grams per gallon, Tropic Thunder contributes 3 to 12 ppm of YAN. When using CellarScience FermFed or FermFed DAP Free nutrient blends to power your fermentation, we recommend adding Tropic Thunder on top of these additions. Use: For beer or white wine add 0.6 to 2 gram per gallon (0.15 to 0.5 grams per liter) directly into the fermenter at the start of fermentation. Perform bench trials to determine optimal usage or start with a dosage of 1.2 g per gal (0.3 g per liter) and adjust as needed on future batches.

The ideal yeast for producing a very neutral, clean base for hard seltzers, canned cocktails, further distillation, etc. Works with malt or sugar fermentations Includes nutrients and pH buffers to keep fermentation humming to finish Able to handle high levels of ethanol and osmotic pressure Ferments clean up to 80°F ​Our motto is to Empower Your Creative Vision. Origin is a unique style of yeast used to create a neutral alcoholic base that acts as the Origin upon which you layer other flavors. Perfect for Hard Seltzers, Canned Cocktails, and whatever else you can dream up. Also great for neutral washes designed for distillation and tough to ferment honey-based mead fermentations. Works on both sugar, honey, and malt-based fermentations. The secret sauce is a very neutral, high alcohol tolerant yeast combined with nutrients and pH buffers. The non-urea-based nutrients help the yeast in simple sugar mediums naturally low in nutrients. pH buffers ensure a high enough pH to allow the yeast to run to completion in even the toughest of situations. The yeast strain used in Origin is a very low producer of H2S and fruity esters resulting in a clean final product. Origin stays clean at higher fermentation temperatures up to 80°F. Origin could technically be called a Turbo Yeast being packed with nutrients. However, we don't like that association as many turbo Yeasts are not selected and assembled for quality and flavor but rather price and speed. Turbo Yeasts also do not include pH buffers. Origin will work with all commonly used sugars, including sucrose, dextrose, and liquid invert sugar. When fermenting wort from malted barley, use our Brutzyme Glucoamylase Enzyme to break down α-1,4 and α-1,6 glycosidic linkages of starch, dextrins, and oligosaccharides for a drier, more fully attenuated final product. Pilot batches should always be performed to find the optimum final product for your further vision. Directions: Add 10 to 20 g per gal (2.5 to 5 g per liter) directly into your fermentation with no hydration required. Ferment between 65 to 80°F (18-27°C). We recommend starting with a dosage of 15 g per gal (4 g per liter) and adjusting as desired in future batches.

Prevents Off-Flavors: ALDC from CellarScience helps prevent the production of Diacetyl, a butter-like off-flavor, ensuring a cleaner-tasting beer. Reduces Conditioning Time: By limiting Diacetyl production during dry hopping or fermentation, ALDC reduces the time needed before your beer is ready for bottling or kegging. Versatile Use: ALDC can be added during yeast pitching or dry hopping, benefiting any beer style, especially those with heavy dry hopping, by controlling hop creep. Stop hop creep before it happens with ALDC from CellarScience. As modern beer styles call for increasing amounts of dry hops, a new risk for off-flavor in the finished beer arises. Hop creep is the result of yeast beginning a new fermentation when dry hops with trace amounts of fermentable sugars are introduced to the finished beer. This results in further production of Diacetyl and, if yeast are not given enough time to clean up after themselves, can lead to higher levels of Diacetyl in the finished beer. Diacetyl is often referred to as a butter or butterscotch like flavor and is not desirable in most styles, especially at high levels. ALDC, or alpha acetolactate decarboxylase, is a helpful enzyme that can be added at yeast pitching or along with your dry hops to limit the production of Diacetyl to protect your finished beer from off-flavors and reduce the conditioning time needed before its ready to bottle or keg. Use: Available in 1 oz dropper bottle or 8 oz bettix bottle. Add to fermenter at time of yeast pitching or dry hopping at a rate of 1 dropper full per 5 gallons. 1 oz contains approximately 35 doses. Additional Notes: Although commonly added to heavily dry hopped beers, using ALDC during fermentation can benefit any beer style by reducing Diacetyl production. Brewing hops all contain the naturally occurring enzyme AMG or amyloglucosidase which breaks down long chain sugars into simple sugars that yeast can ferment. The reason hop creep is a relatively new phenomenon is due to the changing ways in which hops are dried and processed. As brewers started to demand more aromatics from their hops, growers began to lower the kilning temperatures to preserve volatile oils. This led to higher levels of AMG left on the hops as well, where they were previously denatured at the higher kilning temperatures. With more AMG present on the hops, dry hopping now leads to more fermentation activity and higher levels of Diacetyl produced after the primary fermentation is complete. Although the simplest remedy to hop creep is time—waiting for the yeast to naturally clean up the extra Diacetyl—ALDC is a great way to reduce conditioning time and the risk of off-flavors in your finished beer. The recommended shelf life is 12 months from the date the package is opened.

CALI is the classic American ale strain famous for its clean, neutral flavor and its ability to be used in nearly any style A quintessential house strain that will allow malt and hops to shine Designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no pre-oxygenation before pitching required Ferment between 59-72°F CellarScience offers high-quality yeast that is easy to use, consistent, and available at a tremendous value The classic American ale strain that has a long history of producing amazing beers. Famous for its clean, neutral flavor and its ability to be used in nearly any style. The reason this is the most popular strain in homebrewing and craft brewing is that it allows malt and hops to shine. You can never go wrong with CALI. Like all CellarScience yeast, CALI 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. CALI 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: CALI 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. CALI 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 59-72°F (15-22°C). Optimum Fermentation Temp: 59-72°F Flocculation: Medium Alcohol Tolerance: 10-11% ABV (WY1056 11%) Attenuation: 75-84% Similar Strains: WLP001, WY1056, US-05 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.

Adds mouthfeel and body to wines, seltzers, ciders, etc. Adds perceived sweetness without the concerns of adding residual sugar Helps lock in color by keeping anthocyanins in suspension in red wines Reduces the formation of tartrate crystals in white wine Makes bubbles in sparkling wine rise slower enhancing the appearance LiquiBody by CellarScience is a specialized, pre-liquefied Gum Arabic preparation that adds body and perceived sweetness while stabilizing color and smoothing tannic astringency. LiquiBody is made from high molecular weight polysaccharides which adds the perception of sweetness without having to stabilize residual sugar in your wine. The ability to add body and a little perceived sweetness has many applications. LiquiBody helps keep anthocyanin color compounds in solution, preventing them from precipitating out in the bottle. It is also particularly useful to help keep tartrates in solution when cold stabilization of white wine is not possible.  Popular Uses LiquiBody works really well in hard seltzers to add body and a slight sweetness. LiquiBody is added to sparkling wines to improve mouthfeel while increasing the appearance and fineness of the bubbles. Add perceived sweetness to any wine in your lineup to appeal to a larger portion of the population.  Filtering Add after rough filtration is finished and before or after sterile filtration. LiquiBody is suitable for use with a sterile membrane filter if your wine is very clean and you have prefiltered. If your wine is not prefiltered, and you already suspect you may have issues with sterile filtration, do not use LiquiBody. Dosage: LiquiBody is stabilized with potassium bisulfite which will add less than 1 ppm of SO2 into your final wine. Use: Add 0.75 to 5 mL per gallon. Perform bench trials to determine optimal usage or start with a dosage of 2 mL per gallon and adjust as needed on future batches. Works best at a temperature range between 50-68ºF and a pH of 4 to 5.5. Additional Notes: Once opened, partial bottles of LiquiBody should be refrigerated and used within 30 days. If a container is left open for longer than the suggested use, you can add 1000 ppm of SO2 to extend its life span.

Recomended for aged red wines High color extraction Significant polysaccaride and glycerol production for huge mouthfeel High alcohol tolerence High nutrient need Top choice for Bordeaux varietals Cabernet, Cab Franc, Petite Verdot and Merlot Also excelletnt for Sangiovese, Nebbiolo and some Pinot The name kind of says it all. BIG RED is ideal for producing big, complex red wines with lasting fruit. Depending on the grape varietal used it can emphasize complex berry fruit and spice flavors. This strain is very efficient at breaking down and extracting tannins and anthocyanins from grape skin walls, making wines with dark inky color and a tannin profile suitable for extended aging. BIG RED also produces a great mouthfeel due to the significant production of polysaccharides and glycerol. It is also tolerant to higher alcohol levels making it ideal for those grapes that need to stay on the vine just a little longer to get full phenolic ripes with smooth tannin profiles. So lets recap... emphasizes berry fruit with many varietals, produces dark color, extracts a full array of tannins suitable for extended aging, makes wines with great mouthfeel, and is resistant to higher alcohols. Is there a catch? No, but to get all that done BIG RED does love nutrients and you will need to feed it and pay attention to it during fermenation. This is a strain where you would ideally know your Free Available Nitrogen levels that you could base a nutrient schedule around. Absent those numbers or a history with the grapes you are fermentiing, we would suggest you start with hydrating with Fermstart, feeding with FermFed DAP free at the onset of fermentation and feeding again with regular Fermfed after 1/3 sugar depletion. BIG RED is a very low producer of H2S when nutrient demands are met. The perfect strain if you want to make amazing reds. Not the perfect strain if you have a vacation planned during the middle of fermentation and are going to ask your neighbor to punch down...we hear it all!. Because this strain respects varietal character it can be used for a broad spectrum of red grape varietals. Perfect of courese for those Bordeaux varietals ilke Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and even Merlot. Also our first choice for Nebbiolo and some bigger style Sangiovese and Pinot Noir. Start Time: Fast Alcohol tolerance: 16%+ Nitrogen demand: high Yan Requirement @ 23 Brix: 270ppm Production of volatile acidity: Low Production of SO2: Low Ease to Ferment with MLF: Average Yeast type: Cervisiae Killer Factor: Neutral Malic Acid Consumption: Average Optimal Fermentation Temp: 65–85°F Proper yeast hydration helps ensure a healthy fermentation.
