WEST COAST is a refined evolution of the classic American ale strain engineered for modern brewing while honoring its proven roots Clean, versatile, and reliable, it’s ideal for brewers seeking subtle depth without compromising balance at an unbeatable value Designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no pre-oxygenation before pitching required Ferment between 59-72°F WEST COAST is a refined evolution of the classic American ale strain engineered for modern brewing while honoring its proven roots. It delivers the same clean, dependable performance as CALI, with just a trace of fruit character that lends a quiet depth to the final beer. This nuance stays well in the background, complementing rather than competing with hops or malt. Ideal as a house strain, WEST COAST can refresh a Flagship recipe or anchor a new one, offering robust, reliable fermentations every time. Designed for simplicity, it can be pitched directly into wort no oxygenation or rehydration required. Flocculation: Medium to High Fermentation: Range: 59-72ºF (15-22°C) Attenuation: Approximately 75–84% Alcohol Tolerance: 10% ABV Direct Pitch: No rehydration needed Reliable & Consistent: Every batch undergoes PCR testing for quality High Cell Count: 15g per sachet—over 36% more than standard 11g dry yeast packs 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. Like all CellarScience yeast, WEST COAST offers professional-grade performance for both homebrewers and craft brewers at an unbeatable value. If you love the clean versatility of CALI but want a touch more character, West Coast  is your next go-to strain.

Ideal for modern IPAs, Double IPAs, and any beer where hop character takes center stage. Elevate your home brewing with the CellarScience Instant Water™ Salt Pack — designed in collaboration with Colin Kaminski, co-author of Water: A Comprehensive Guide for Brewers. Each expertly crafted blend of essential salts and minerals transforms reverse osmosis (RO), deionized (DI), or distilled water into an ideal base for brewing. Every formulation is precisely balanced to optimize water chemistry for its intended beer style, helping your brew reach its full flavor potential with style-accurate mineral content and optimized mash pH. Engineered for precision and ease of use, CellarScience Instant Water™ Salt Packs simplify the complex process of water adjustment, providing a reliable and repeatable solution. Importance of Mash pH Proper mash pH is critical to brewing performance and finished beer quality. CellarScience Instant Water™ formulations are designed to place mash pH into the optimal range for each beer style. Improves brewhouse efficiency by supporting optimal enzyme activity during starch conversion Shapes hop flavor and balance by influencing bitterness, smoothness, and aroma expression Enhances clarity and stability through improved protein coagulation and yeast performance With properly conditioned water, you’ll unlock better fermentation, enhanced enzyme activity, and a cleaner, more expressive finish that allows your beer’s true character to shine. Designed to work with: Reverse osmosis (RO), deionized (DI), or distilled water Each pack treats: 6 gallons (23 L) of brewing water For larger batches, add an additional 2 g per gallon Instructions  Use only with reverse osmosis (RO), deionized (DI), or distilled water. Add the full contents of this pack to 6 gallons (23 L) of brewing water before mashing. Stir until dissolved. Mash in as usual — no additional acid or salt adjustments are typically required. Proceed with your normal brewing process. Note: These salts are designed to set mash pH without acid additions. Because malt acidity varies, you may wish to verify your mash pH and make small corrections if needed, though this is rarely necessary. Dextrose is used in trace amounts as a processing aid for blend consistency and flow and does not affect fermentation or flavor.

Our top choice for Seltzers — highly efficient at metabolizing simple sugars with minimal off-flavors (low fusel/sulfur) Amazing house strain – for neutral-profile ales VELO delivers – rapid fermentation while maintaining a clean, neutral profile Doesn’t require temperature control - Loves to ferment Hot Ferment between 60-94°F Designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no pre-oxygenation before pitching required Amazing as a House Strain VELO is a high-performance ale yeast selected for speed, flavor neutrality, and wide temperature tolerance. In internal sensory comparisons, VELO’s ester suppression and clean finish exceeded CellarScience CALI, while offering faster kinetics and a wide operating range that, within reason, can substantially reduce the need for temperature control. We’ve found it to be a dependable house strain across styles, especially for hop-forward ales. delivering clean results quickly while staying remarkably forgiving across real-world fermentation conditions Why It Works in Seltzers For hard seltzer production, VELO excels thanks to highly efficient metabolism of simple sugars (“mono- and disaccharides”) with low fusel and sulfur byproducts when supported by a complete nutrient regimen. When developing our Seltzer nutrient Dynamo 800 we tried many yeasts and Velo was consistently the best.  From there we tweaked the formulation specifically for Velo with over 60 fermentations.  Across broader sensory feedback beyond internal  bench work, VELO consistently presented as noticeably cleaner than several common industry benchmarks, delivering a true neutral, blank-canvas base that stays out of the way of your seltzer flavor additions. Lagers Fermented at Warmer Temperatures (Sometimes called pseudo-lagers) VELO excels in this role by delivering a clean, lager-like profile at ale fermentation temperatures. Its wide operating range (60–94°F / 16–34°C), fast kinetics, and low ester/phenol expression let you run lager-style recipes in the mid-60s to low-70s °F without temperature control. When you ferment under pressure (up to 12 PSI), you can push these lager-like beers toward the upper end of VELO’s range right up to 94°F while still maintaining a neutral, crisp finish. High attenuation and medium–high flocculation help the beer finish dry and drop clear quickly, making VELO an amazing house strain for clean, lager-like beers on an ale timeline. Technical Attributes Neutral & Clean: Ester/phenol expression held very low; as clean or cleaner than CellarScience CALI in sensory comparisons. Fast Fermentation: Wraps primary quickly, reducing tank residency and tightening production schedules. Wide Temp Range: Performs cleanly from 60–94 °F (16–34 °C) with minimal off-flavors—useful where tight temperature control isn’t feasible. Pressure-Ready: Stable up to 12 PSI, ideal for closed or spunded ferments. Hop-Smart: Preserves hop brightness in modern IPAs while remaining tidy in low-IBU and malt-forward beers. High Attenuation: ~75–83 % for a dry, polished finish; alcohol tolerance up to 10 % ABV with full nutrient support. Medium–High Flocculation: Drops bright post-fermentation while staying in suspension long enough to finish cleanly. Thermotolerant Physiology: Robust stress response (e.g., trehalose storage) supports clean performance at elevated temperatures. Specifications: Fermentation Temperature: 60–94°F (16–34°C) Apparent Attenuation: ~75–83 % Alcohol Tolerance: up to 10 % ABV (with complete nutrient regimen) Flocculation: Medium–High Pressure Tolerance: up to 12 PSI Format: 15 g high-cell-count sachet (≈ 36 % more than standard 11 g) Direct Pitch: No rehydration required Quality Control: Every batch PCR-verified for purity and consistency Applications Clean ales and pseudo-lagers • West Coast/Cali-style IPAs • Pale & session ales • Kölsch-like ferments • Hard seltzers and other sugar-based ferments Dosage Homebrew: One 15 g sachet treats 5–6 gal (19–23 L). Scale-up: Use 2–3 g/gal (0.5–0.8 g/L). When scaling, round up to the next full sachet for consistency. VELO is the practical house strain for clean results on a tight timeline—neutral like CALI, ferments fast, handles a wide temperature range, and produces a polished finish in beer and seltzer when paired with appropriate nutrients.
