Northern IPA
The Northern IPA utilizes a high attenuation ale strain fermented at cooler temperatures to achieve a flavor profile that clean, crisp and dry. Compared to WCIPA or New England IPAs, the Northern IPA presents as dryer and more drinkable with the low specialty malt usage. The resulting beer character should be refreshing.
Malt profiles should be stripped back, with dominantly pale base malts to be sued, and avoiding high-kilned specialty malts altogether. Hop profile tends towards the juicy sweetness and biotransformation character of hazy IPAs, but to finish with a firm bitterness. May use hops from any origin but should showcase modern and hop=-forward hop characteristics not seen in traditional styles.
Overall impression to be a well-integrated hop-forward IPA style with clean but present yeast character which elevates with modern varietals.
See below for the Northern IPA style guidelines.

VOSS is a kveik yeast strain that ferments quickly at higher temperatures with superb flocculation A traditional farmhouse yeast from Voss, Norway that produces a clean flavor profile with hints of orange peel & citrus Designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no pre-oxygenation before pitching required Ferment between 68-104°F CellarScience offers high-quality yeast that is easy to use, consistent, and available at a tremendous value Traditional farmhouse yeast from Voss, Norway. This kveik yeast strain ferments quickly at higher temperatures with superb flocculation. Produces a clean flavor profile with hints of orange peel & citrus. Every batch 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: VOSS 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. VOSS 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 68-104°F (20-40°C). Optimum Fermentation Temp: 68-104°F Flocculation: Medium-High Alochol Tolerance: 16% ABV (LalBrew® Voss 12%) Attenuation: 75-80% Similar Strains: WLP520, OYL061 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.

A fructophile for clean, low temperature ferments. W15 was isolated in 1991 from high quality Muller Thurgau must originating in the vineyards at the Viticulture Research Station in Wadenswil, Switzerland. W15 was developed to ferment dry whites at moderate speeds where bright fruit and heavy mouthfeel are desired. This yeast does just that, and it does so while respecting the varietal characteristics of the fruit. W15 can also be used to ferment high quality, fruit focused, light red wines from Pinot Noir and cool-climate Syrah. Short lag pahse, moderate rate fermenter at temperature ranges between 50 to 81 degrees F. Alcohol tolerant to 16%. W15 produces higher levels of glycerol and succinic acid especially at higher fermentation temperatures (above 77 degrees F). Download the PDF Download the PDF

PurePitch® Next Generation—now with more yeast, get a foolproof fermentation without a starter! Just twist the cap & pitch! Why PurePitch Next Gen versus other options? Typically yeast manufacturers use a range for how many yeast cells are going into each package. This can vary widely, especially from strain to strain. Next Gen offers a far more precise cell count across all strains allowing you to use the Whitelabs exclusive pitch calculator. Simply scan the barcode on the back of each package to be taken to their online calculator. Enter the volume, strength, and pitching temperature of the wort you are fermenting and the calculator tells you exactly how much yeast to pitch. You will be fermenting like a professional brewer, using the same concentration of yeast every time and enjoying more consistent results. Don't need a full package? Put the lid back on and store in the refrigerator for your next batch. Whitelabs has also increased the viability (the number of living cells in the package) over the shelf life of the yeast. Next Gen strains are grown in their unique, small-batch reactors to assure freshness and then packaged in a special film that allows for off-gassing, assuring that their viability is absolutely industry leading. Attenuation: 70-76% Flocculation: Medium Alcohol Tolerance: 5-10% ABV Optimum Fermentation Temp: 48-55°F Cell Count: 150 Billion For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast. Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.
