MATTERHORN is a top choice for everyday light lagers that define a brewery’s baseline Delivers crisp, well-attenuated beers with a minimal fermentation signature Designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no pre-oxygenation before pitching required Ferment between 48-58°F MATTERHORN is a Swiss-origin lager strain particularly well suited to light lagers and other styles where clear malt and hop definition is important. Its fermentation character remains subtle, with a light floral quality that adds aromatic lift without competing with the malt or hops. Combined with its attenuation profile, MATTERHORN produces a firm, dry finish that keeps delicate malt character and hop bitterness clearly expressed. That makes MATTERHORN particularly useful for German or Czech-inspired Pilsners, everyday light lagers, modern hoppy lagers, and West Coast Lagers. It can also work well with richer wort grists when the goal is to maintain a dry, refreshing finish and prevent malt character from becoming overly heavy. Its consistent performance across its recommended temperature range provides the reliability and repeatability needed for both traditional and modern lager production. A top choice for everyday light lagers that define a brewery’s baseline Direct Pitch: No rehydration needed Reliable & Consistent: Every batch undergoes PCR testing for purity and performance 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. For professional brewers, use at a rate of 90-170 grams per barrel, depending on wort temperature and gravity. Direct Pitch or Rehydrate: MATTERHORN 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. MATTERHORN 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 48-58°F (9-14°C). Optimum Fermentation Temp: 48-58°F Flocculation: Medium to High Alcohol Tolerance: 12% ABV Attenuation: 79-83% 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.

Columbus, or CTZ (Columbus, Tomahawk, and Zeus), is a high alpha varietal with a neutral bitterness and intense aroma. A true dual-purpose hop that works very well for bittering, but shines just as easily as a late addition. CTZ hops have an earthy, spicy character that is great for bittering. But when used as an aroma addition, you'll find more floral and citrus notes come out that can be very pungent. Columbus is a perfect choice for IPAs, Pales, Imperial Ales, Hazys, Stouts, and Lagers. Hop Statistics: Alpha Acids: 14.0 – 16.0% Beta Acids: 4.0 – 5.5% Alpha-Beta Ratio: 2.55 – 4 Cohumulone: (% of alpha acids): 30 – 35% Total Oils in mls per 100 grams dried: 1.5 – 2.0 Similar Hop Varieties: Chinook, Nugget, Millennium

A lighter option to traditional Brown Malt, providing biscuity, nutty, and lightly toasted characteristics with less intense dry roast notes Contributes a pleasing depth to Brown Ales, Milds, Porters, and Amber Lagers Use at a rate of 5–15% of your grain bill 36–45 °L - Export Brown malt offers brewers a lighter alternative to traditional Brown Malt. Kilned to a color range of 36–45°L, it provides the sought-after biscuity, nutty, and lightly toasted characteristics of Brown Malt, but with a more subdued roast profile and a cleaner finish. In comparison to standard Brown Malt (150–191°L), Export Brown exhibits significantly less acrid bitterness and intense dry roast notes, increasing its versatility across a broader spectrum of beer styles. Brewers can expect warm cereal notes, delicate coffee, and a kiss of dry cocoa. On the palate, it presents with less assertiveness than darker roasted malts. Export Brown contributes a pleasing depth to Brown Ales, Milds, Porters, and even Amber Lagers when incorporated at a rate of 5–15%, depending on the brewer's desired intensity. This malt proves particularly well-suited when toasty malt complexity is desired without overshadowing darker, more pronounced flavors. Malt Specification: Color °L - 36–45 Moisture % - max. 3.5 Extract fine % dm - min. 71.0 Usage Rate - 5–15%

60 °L - Viking Malt - Raisins, prunes, and brown sugar are flavors we get from this malt. Caramel 150 is the equivalent of Crystal or Caramel 60 in color but very different flavor.  We love this malt and think it is dynamite in rich brown ales, killer in Dubbels, and perfect in any darker style where you want that rich background.  By comparison Viking Caramel 100 has flavors of sweet wort which are more traditional in flavor but none of the sweet raisin in 150. On the other side, Caramel 200 still has raisin and prune but it is has the beginning of a burnt characteristic.      Viking Caramel Malts are made from green malt . A high degree of caramelization is characteristic of this malt. The amylolytic activity of Caramel Malts is zero. Maillard products formed in the process can act as antioxidants and contribute to flavor stability. Caramel Malts usually improve foam quality and head retention. Caramel Malts are well suited for winter beers, ale-type beers and other aromatic beers like dark lagers and stouts. Small amounts can be used for color adjustment and flavor enrichment of pale lagers as well. Compared to Cara Plus, Caramel Malts have a stronger character.   Malt Specification: Moisture % - max. 6.0 Extract fine % dm - min. 75.0 Color °L - 53.1-60.6   See the Documents tab below for Product Information and Typical Analysis.

Non-Alcoholic Specialization: Specifically selected for the production of low-alcohol and non-alcoholic beers with a focus on flavor integrity. Maltose-Negative Strain: Does not ferment maltose or maltotriose, leaving a high-quality residual sweetness and full body without the alcohol. Authentic Flavor Profile: Provides a clean, subtle ester profile that mimics traditional brewing results without the need for dealcoholization. SafBrew™ LA-01 is a specialized Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. chevallieri strain developed specifically for the craft of low-alcohol and non-alcoholic beers (up to 0.5% ABV). Unlike standard brewer’s yeast, this "maltose-negative" strain only ferments simple sugars (glucose, fructose, and sucrose), leaving the more complex malt sugars untouched. This results in a brew that retains the natural mouthfeel, body, and sweetness of the grain, making it an essential tool for brewers looking to achieve professional results in the non-alcoholic space. Maltose-Negative: Only consumes simple sugars, naturally limiting alcohol production while maintaining high residual extract for body. Flavor Preservation: Produces a clean, neutral aromatic profile with very subtle fruity notes, allowing the hops and malt to define the beer. POF Negative: Lacks the phenolic off-flavor (POF) gene, ensuring no unwanted clove or medicinal aromas in the final product. Superior Body: Because it leaves maltose unfermented, the resulting beer has a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel that is often missing in low-alcohol beverages. Controlled Kinetics: Ferments steadily until the simple sugars are depleted, providing a predictable and stable outcome. Applications: Non-Alcoholic Beers: The industry standard for creating beers at <0.5% ABV without the need for expensive vacuum distillation equipment. Low-Alcohol Ales: Excellent for "Small Beers" or ultra-light ales where flavor density is required despite low gravity. Alcohol-Free IPAs: Provides the necessary body and sweetness to balance high hopping rates in non-alcoholic hop-forward styles. Malt Beverages: Ideal for creating non-fermented or lightly fermented malt drinks with a sophisticated, beer-like palate. Flavor Profile: Clean & Neutral: A very low ester profile that serves as a perfect canvas for specialized malts and late-addition hops. Malty Sweetness: High residual maltose levels provide a natural, cereal-like sweetness and a rounder palate. Crisp & Refreshing: Despite the residual sweetness, it finishes clean without cloying heavy esters. Balanced Body: Successfully mimics the texture of a 4-5% ABV beer in a <0.5% ABV environment. Usage: Rehydration: Sprinkle the yeast in at least 10 times its weight of sterile water or hopped wort at 77°F–84°F (25°C–29°C). Let rest for 15 to 30 minutes, stir gently, and pitch the cream into the fermentation vessel. Pitching Rate: Standard dosage is 50 to 80 g/hL (approximately 1.9 to 3 grams per gallon) to ensure a healthy population. Pasteurization Requirement: Mandatory. Because the beer contains high levels of residual fermentable sugars (maltose), it must be pasteurized after packaging to prevent spoilage or secondary fermentation. Fermentation Temperature: Performs optimally between 50°F and 77°F (10°C–25°C). Gravity Management: Monitor initial sugar levels (simple sugars vs. maltose) carefully to ensure the final ABV remains within the desired 0.5% limit. *See the technical data sheet below for more information on rehydration, usage and storage. Safbrew™ LA-01 vs. Safbrew™ LA-02 While both Fermentis LA-01 and LA-02 are maltose-negative yeasts designed for brewing no- and low-alcohol beers, their genetic makeup yields distinct flavor profiles. SafBrew™ LA-01 (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a POF+ strain that naturally produces spicy, clove-like phenols, making it ideal for Belgian styles unless its expression is carefully suppressed during the mash. Conversely, SafBrew™ LA-02 is a non-Saccharomyces (Torulaspora) species that is naturally POF-negative, offering a completely clean, sweeter finish with malt and honey notes perfect for standard ales and lagers. Crucially, because both strains leave large amounts of unfermented complex sugars behind, beers brewed with either yeast require strict pasteurization to prevent unwanted refermentation and package bursting.

The best brewers make large yeast starters to get their beer fermenting fast. Large populations of active yeast help ensure flavorful beer free of off flavors. Our large 3000ml Erlenmyer Flask is a great vessel to make a large yeast starter for 5 gallon lagers and high gravity brews. Because it is made from borosilicate glass you can move it from a boil on your gas stove into a cold water bath for cooling, without the risk of cracking. (We do not recommend the use of an electric element. If this cannot be avoided, we recommend using a larger pot as a hot water bath on the stove.) 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. Recommended Process for Use of Flask: Double Boiler Method It is important for your safety to heat water in the flask with a heat source that distributes heat evenly. Our manufacturer has confirmed that direct heat to the glass can break down its integrity and break if the heat source doesn't distribute 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 away from potential harm. Features Massive 3L (3000mL) Capacity Made from Borosilicate Glass Fantastic price for a flask of this size Produced for MoreBeer! " base " top "H 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".

This White Koji is formulated specifically for brewing beer with citric acid. Citric acid tends to have a less harsh astringency when compared to lactic acid. Used at a high percentage (20-25%), it makes a very clean kettle sour instantly. Rather than waiting overnight for the bacteria, you can hit your target pH during your standard mashing process. It can also be added to any recipe to adjust pH in the mash, similar to acidulated malt. This traditional ingredient, imported directly from Japan, is a great addition to your next craft Japanese rice lager! Koji (Aspergillus luchuensis) is a fungus that is grown on rice during the Shochu making process and citric acid is naturally generated. Koji is grown on rice which breaks down starch in the rice to a more fermentable sugar source. Yeast can then use these sugars during fermentation to add a bright and refreshing citric acid character. White Koji should be used at a rate of 20% - 25% of total grain in your recipe for souring. Use at a small percentage, as needed, for pH adjustment in the mash. Koji in Beverage Making Koji, a unique mold, is the heart of many beloved Japanese beverages, transforming starches into the sugars necessary for fermentation. While traditionally barley malting achieves this in whisky, innovative distillers are embracing koji, particularly yellow and white varieties, to unlock new flavor profiles. In shochu, white and black koji are favored for their citric acid production, ensuring a clean and stable fermentation, while yellow koji adds a touch of sake-like complexity. And of course, yellow koji reigns supreme in sake, orchestrating the intricate parallel fermentation that defines its character. This ancient ingredient, with its diverse strains, offers a remarkable tool for crafting distinctive spirits. Whether it's the bright acidity of white koji in shochu, the delicate sweetness of yellow koji in sake, or the novel depth it brings to whisky, koji's transformative power is undeniable. By harnessing the unique properties of different koji varieties, producers are pushing the boundaries of flavor, creating beverages that are both rooted in tradition and boldly innovative.

Perfect for NA & Low-ABV: Specially selected to brew low-alcohol and non-alcoholic beers under 0.5% ABV. Preserves Body & Mouthfeel: Selectively ferments only simple sugars, leaving complex sugars untouched to retain residual body. Clean & Non-Phenolic: Produces a highly neutral, POF- (non-phenolic) profile that lets your malt and hops take center stage. SafBrew™ LA-02 is a groundbreaking release from Fermentis -- their very first non-Saccharomyces yeast strain chosen specifically to brew beers that finish under 0.5% ABV. Crafting a delicious low-alcohol or non-alcoholic beer just got a whole lot easier.  The secret to this strain's success lies in its unique attenuation profile. LA-02 selectively ferments only simple sugars (like fructose and glucose) and slowly processes sucrose. Since it completely ignores complex sugars -- leaving maltose, maltotriose, and dextrins untouched -- you are left with a beer that retains great body and mouthfeel without generating unwanted alcohol. When it comes to flavor, SafBrew™ LA-02 produces a remarkably clean, mild profile that allows your malt and hop additions to take center stage. Plus, it is completely free of phenolic characteristics, meaning you won't experience any of the spicy or clove-like off-flavors sometimes associated with specialty strains. Key Characteristics: Ideal For: Non-alcoholic and low-ABV beers (<0.5% ABV) Species: Torulaspora delbrueckii (Non-Saccharomyces) Sugar Consumption: Assimilates glucose, fructose, and sucrose. Non-Fermentables: Will not ferment maltose, maltotriose, or dextrins. Flavor Profile: Clean, neutral, and non-phenolic (no spicy notes). Points of Attention: Beer fermented with maltose-negative yeast (such as SafBrew™ LA-02) will naturally retain residual fermentable sugars. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to cold crash immediately when the target terminal gravity is achieved. The typical glucose / simple sugars content of an all-malt wort ranges around 10%. SafBrew™ LA-02, with a proper pitch rate and fermentation temperature (68°F), is expected to finish fermentation in approximately 3-4 days. It is strongly recommended that any dry hopping process be conducted exclusively post-fermentation, after the beer has been cooled to a temperature of less than 39°F. Pasteurization of the packaged beer is mandatory to avoid living microorganisms remaining in the product. At a pH of 4.2, we recommend between 80 to 120 PU. At a lower pH level or high IBU, the PU level can be adapted to a minimum of 50 PU. Thorough Quality Control checks are required to confirm microbiological stability. This yeast is not suitable for propagation, cropping and/or repitching of any kind. For more information, check the Technical Guidelines, which contain complete utilization recommendations. This yeast can be pitched directly, but if you prefer to rehydrate, the instructions are below. Sprinkle the yeast in a minimum of 10 times its weight of sterile water or wort (we suggest 4 oz) at 70°F to 77°F (21 to 25 °C). Do not stir. Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes. Gently stir for 30 minutes, and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. Apparent Attenuation: 5-10% Sedimentation: Medium Alcohol Tolerance: 9-11% ABV Optimum Fermentation Temp: 68-77°F *See the technical data sheet below for more information on rehydration, usage and storage. Safbrew™ LA-01 vs. Safbrew™ LA-02 While both Fermentis LA-01 and LA-02 are maltose-negative yeasts designed for brewing no- and low-alcohol beers, their genetic makeup yields distinct flavor profiles. SafBrew™ LA-01 (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a POF+ strain that naturally produces spicy, clove-like phenols, making it ideal for Belgian styles unless its expression is carefully suppressed during the mash. Conversely, SafBrew™ LA-02 is a non-Saccharomyces (Torulaspora) species that is naturally POF-negative, offering a completely clean, sweeter finish with malt and honey notes perfect for standard ales and lagers. Crucially, because both strains leave large amounts of unfermented complex sugars behind, beers brewed with either yeast require strict pasteurization to prevent unwanted refermentation and package bursting.

This Brewmaster Series kit was scaled down to a homebrew batch size in collaboration with Firestone Walker Brewing Company One of the newest takes on the IPA style—Cold IPAs are highly hopped but fermented cold with a lager strain Includes Simcoe®, Callista, Talus®, Mosaic Cryo®, El Dorado, Idaho #7, Cashmere, Nelson, and Riwaka™ hops Estimated ABV: 6.7% Estimated IBUs: 50 Makes 5 gallons of finished beer A new way to IPA! Firestone Walker's Hopnosis IPA represents one of the tastiest examples of a new beer style that is quickly gaining ground—Cold IPA. These beers feature the massive hopping schedules you'd expect from an IPA but are then fermented cold with a lager strain. This gives the beer a clean, crisp and crushable profile while allowing the hops to be on full display.  From the top of the boil to the final post fermentation dry hop, you'll find a long list of delicious hop varieties from the U.S. and New Zealand. One of the standouts is Mosaic® Cryo Hops® which are used as the biotransformation dry hop addition. Prepare to be absolutely mesmerized by Hopnosis IPA's explosion of tropical fruit flavors including mango, passionfruit, white grape, and lychee. What Firestone Walker Has to Say About Hopnosis: In early 2022, we launched Hopnosis as our next-generation West Coast-style IPA. Now the time has come to embrace an even more accurate stylistic moniker for Hopnosis: Cold IPA. While IPAs are typically fermented with ale yeasts, cold IPAs like Hopnosis are fermented with lager yeasts. Remember that IPA stands for India Pale Ale, so fermenting an IPA with lager yeasts signifies a break with tradition. “When you use a lager yeast to ferment an IPA, you get a cleaner and less ester-driven aroma profile,” said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. “The colder fermentation also creates a lighter backbone that helps accentuate the bright, tropical hops we’re using. So while Hopnosis offers a lot of things you love in a straight-ahead West Coast IPA, the lager yeast is what pushes it toward the Cold IPA style.” As a result, Hopnosis rings all the bells of a Cold IPA: crisp and crushable, with a clean hop profile.
