GERMAN is the classic lager strain from Weihenstephan Germany that has been used for generations Produces clean, balanced lagers from pilsners to doppelbocks Designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no pre-oxygenation before pitching required Ferment between 50-59°F CellarScience offers high-quality yeast that is easy to use, consistent, and available at a tremendous value The classic lager strain from Weihenstephan Germany that has been used for generations to produce clean, balanced lagers from pilsners to doppelbocks. Like all CellarScience yeast, GERMAN 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. GERMAN 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 2.5–4 grams per gallon of wort. We recommend rounding up by one full sachet rather than measuring out the yeast exactly. Direct Pitch or Rehydrate: GERMAN 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. GERMAN 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 50-59°F (10-15°C). Optimum Fermentation Temp: 50-59°F Flocculation: High Alcohol Tolerance: 9-10% ABV (WY2124 9%) Attenuation: 78-85% Similar Strains: WLP830, WY2124, W-34/70 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.

Produces beers with dominant tropical fruit, mango and pineapple flavors, complemented by subtle notes of orange and lemon Multi-Strain Kveik Yeasts are original blends of kveik yeast cultures rather than isolated single-strain yeasts Ferments effectively across a broad spectrum (46-100°F), offering flexibility for various beer styles Achieves complete fermentation in as little as 72 hours at optimal temperatures (88-95°F), speeding up the brewing process Well-suited for a pseudo-lagers and IPAs Stalljen multi-strain originates from Stig Seljeset in Hornindal. The flavor and aroma primarily come from tropical fruit, mango, and pineapple, with secondary notes of orange and lemon. Stalljen ferments well between 46-100°F and will ferment faster at higher temperatures. At an optimal temperature of 88-95°F, you can expect fermentation to take up to 72 hours. Stalljen is highly versatile and works well for pseudo-lagers and IPAs. The Stalljen kveik comes from Stig Seljeset in Hornindal, Norway. Hornindal is situated north of the Jostedal glacier. Historically, the main industry in Hornindal was farming and scythe forging. The Seljeset farm was a traditional self-sustained farm holding animals. The Stalljen name means stable, and comes from their old horse stable which now holds a private pub and brewery. The Multi-Strain Difference Kveik Yeastery's unique multi-strain kveik yeasts capture the true essence of traditional Norwegian farmhouse brewing, delivering a depth of flavor and robust fermentation unmatched by single-strain alternatives. While other suppliers offer isolated kveik strains, Kveik Yeastery is the only source for authentic, dried multi-strain blends, providing brewers with the complex, nuanced profiles that define classic kveik. These diverse blends offer a superior brewing experience, unlocking the full potential of this remarkable yeast. Flavor and Aroma Primary flavors: Tropical fruit, mango and pineapple Secondary flavors: Orange and lemon The intensity is medium at high fermentation temperatures, and at lower temperatures, it will be less intense. Fermentation Stalljen ferments well from 46°F up to 100°F. The higher fermentation temperature, the faster fermentation. At the optimum temperature 88-95°F expect fermentation to finish in 72 hours. When fermentation is done at low temperatures you can expect fermentation time to increase. For high gravity beers, we recommend users to pitch two packs of yeast and add yeast nutrition to ensure a healthy fermentation. Pitching Pitch directly into wort by sprinkling it across the surface, or rehydrate yeast. For fermentation below 64°F, or high gravity, increase pitching rate to 2.25 g/Gal. One 7 g sachet treats 5 to 8 gallons of wort. One 300 g brewery pouch treats 8.5 bbl of wort.   Effective Fermentation Temp: 46-100°F Optimum Fermentation Temp: 88-95°F Flocculation: High Alcohol Tolerance: 15% ABV Attenuation: Medium

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.

BERLIN is a popular German yeast strain for producing lagers with soft malt character and balanced esters An ideal choice for Bocks, Oktoberfests, and American amber lagers Designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no pre-oxygenation before pitching required Ferment between 50-59°F CellarScience offers high-quality yeast that is easy to use, consistent, and available at a tremendous value A popular yeast strain with a Berlin lineage that is famous for producing amazing lagers with soft malt character and balanced esters. Like all CellarScience yeast, BERLIN 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. BERLIN has been selling to pro breweries for awhile but was just recently packaged down to sachets for homebrewers. Dosage: Two sachets are enough to treat a 5–6 gallon batch. When calculating for larger batches, use at a rate of 2.5–4 grams per gallon of wort. We recommend rounding up by one full sachet rather than measuring out the yeast exactly. Direct Pitch or Rehydrate: BERLIN 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. BERLIN 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 50-59°F (10-15°C). Optimum Fermentation Temp: 50-59°F Flocculation: High Alcohol Tolerance: 10-11% ABV Attenuation: 75-85% Similar Strains: WLP820, WY2206, S-23 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.
