Achieve rapid and complete fermentation in high-sugar beverages like hard seltzer with balanced, 100% yeast-derived nutrition
Formulated to prevent sluggish fermentations and off-flavors, YeastLife O™ promotes clean, consistent results and improved mouthfeel
This OMRI-listed, gluten-free nutrient provides natural and bioavailable nourishment, ensuring optimal yeast health without the use of inorganic additives
AB Vickers YeastLife O™ is the result of an intensive Research & Development work on brewing process with attention to the yeast nutritional aspect of high sugar/low nutrient based fermented beverages including hard seltzer. On top of solving nutritional requirement to avoid sluggish and stuck fermentation, YeastLife O™ has been formulated to avoid off-flavor and improve mouthfeel.
YeastLife O™ is OMRI listed. For market specific organic compliance, please contact your organic certification organization.
Principle:
Since pure sugar lacks the nutrients required for a healthy fermentation, hard seltzer fermentations require supplementation with a balanced nutrient high in nitrogen, vitamins and minerals. Failure to provide adequate nutrition can result in slow or stuck fermentations, reduced attenuation and off-flavors.
AB Vickers YeastLife O™ is composed of 100% yeast derived ingredients, so nutrients are balanced and bioavailable for yeast metabolism. It does not contain mineral salts or inorganic sources of vitamins or nitrogen (such as DAP or urea). Organic nutrition from AB Vickers YeastLife O™ promotes cleaner fermentations compared to inorganic nutrition that may lead to off-flavors due to rapid yeast growth.
AB Vickers YeastLife O™ is gluten-free.
Benefits:
Complete nutrition for pure sugar fermentations.
Ensures rapid fermentation with high attenuation.
Natural, 100% yeast derived nutrition is balanced and bioavailable for yeast.
Clean and consistent fermentations.
Reduced off-flavors compared to inorganic nutrient supplementation.

Medium Plus toast level oak chips
Fire Toasted
Made from Hungarian/Slovanian Oak
Winery quality Slavonian Oak chips with Medium Plus level toast. Recommended for use during fermentation for 1-2 months. As a starting point use 1.5-3.5 oz per 5 gallons. Taste after two months and add more if needed.
Balazs segments are made from Slavonian oak. Slavonian oak is grown in the area of Croatia that borders Hungary. While the area of Slavonia has changed hands many times, being under Hungarian control in the past, what has always remained constant is the quality of the oak grown in the region. Slavonian oak is beloved in Italy where it is widely used in the traditional and classic Italian wines of the Veneto, Tuscany and Piedmont. It is known for having the utmost respect for the fruit which is why Italian producers extensively use this oak. This makes this oak extremely useful for home winemakers who, because of the small quantities being made, need to pay special attention to not over oaking their wine.
Use: Fermentation
Form: Chips - 4-40 mm
Time of Contact: 1-2 months
Recommended Quantity: 0.3-0.7 oz/gal

Oak Chips are a fast and economical way to add oak barrel flavor to any beer.
Oak Chips are made from seasoned American and French Oak staves which are chipped down and toasted to create flavors similar to what you'd get from a barrel.
The available toast levels are Medium, Medium +, and Heavy. It's important to understand that each toasting level creates different flavors in the oak; not a greater intensity of impact in your beer. Don't think of them as weak, normal & strong; they're each a different flavor profile.
These staves for these Medium Toast French Oak chips are sourced from a cooper (barrel maker) in Napa, CA. They deliver clove and spice flavors of medium intensity, along with strong flavors of Butterscotch & perceived sweetness.
Because of the high surface area, oak chips can extract quickly and care should be taken not to overdo it. Taste your beer frequently after the first week of contact and be ready to rack off the oak chips.
Suggested Dosage is 1-2 oz per 5 gallons.

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.
Beer Styles: Northern IPA

The Deluxe Yeast Starter Kit will have you making top shelf yeast starters right out of the box. Yeast starters offer higher cell counts at the time the yeast is pitched, leading to faster, healthier fermentations and better tasting beer! Any beer will benefit from a yeast starter, but they're especially recommended for high gravity beers and cold fermenting lagers.
This kit includes step-by-step instructions for making a 2L starter, as well as some fantastic upgrades that set it apart from our standard Y320 starter kit. Once you've prepared the starter, sanitize and drop in the stir bar, install the foam stopper, and place the flask on the magnetic stir plate. Turn the dial up until a shallow vortex forms.
Magnetic Stir Plate
A stir plate will greatly improve the quality of your yeast starter by providing continuous aeration. Yeast need oxygen to produce sterols and multiply. When all the available oxygen is used up the yeast will stop reproducing. Using a stir plate will ensure that your yeast have all the oxygen they could ever want and they'll be able to reproduce as much as possible.
Foam Stopper
Many yeast starter kits include a rubber stopper and airlock, but we believe a foam stopper is the clear choice. The foam stopper will allow air to flow freely into your flask while keeping pesky bugs and other contaminants out. Simply spray or dunk the stopper in sanitizer before installing it. If you're going to store the starter for a couple days after its finished, remove the foam stopper and cover the flask with sanitized aluminum foil.
Foam Axe
Foam Axe from CellarScience® is a uniquely formulated anti-foaming agent which reduces surface tension so bubbles are Axed before they can form. Foam Axe can be used in the kettle to help prevent boil-overs and works great in your fermenter or starter flask to reduce Krausen—stopping your viable yeast from fermenting out the top of your vessel. Just one drop in your flask is all you need.
Flask Marker
This wax pencil is used for writing on glass surfaces and washes off easily. Great for labeling and writing notes on your yeast starter.
Kit Includes:
2000 mL Erlenmeyer flask (student grade)
Magnetic Stir Plate (stir bar included)
Foam Stopper
1/2 lb Dried Malt Extract
1 oz Fermaid K yeast nutrient
1 oz Foam Axe foam control
Flask Marker wax pencil
In the lab world, these flasks are known as "Student Grade". A great flask for making yeast starters! (Student grade is not the highest grade flasks and will have minor defects)

Made from high-quality Slavonian oak sustainably sourced from Hungarian forests
Superior in long term storage due to the tight grain and slow release of phenolic compounds
Equivalent or superior quality compared to French Oak barrels at a much more affordable cost
Zinc-plated steel barrel hoops for corrosion resistance
Coopered by the world-renowned Balazs Nagy
Balazs barrels is a long-trusted brand of Hungarian oak barrels coopered by the famous Balazs Nagy. These barrels are equal or better in quality to French Oak barrels but available at a fraction of the cost of their more famous counterparts. Renowned for respecting fruit, Hungarian barrels offer winemakers a great option to impact the mouthfeel, structure and flavor of wine without stepping on the terroir of your grapes.
Due to the tight grain and slow release of phenolic compounds, you can feel secure storing your wine in Hungarian barrels longer than you can with other barrels. The slow process of micro oxygenation rounds the wine while various compounds in the wood such hemicellulose, lipids, and lignins are slowly integrated.
As most barrel makers know, the best source of wood for wine barrels is the oak grown in the territory of old-time Hungary, known as Slavonian oak. This rare, high-quality oak can be found in the Zemplén Mountains and in the Tokaj oak woods. The specific type of oak in those territories, and what is used in Balazs barrels, is the Quercus Petrea. This oak is characterised by a dense, hard structure combined with extra flavor. Forestry workers look after these forests with considerable expertise, and the forest density ratio in Hungary is 20–24%, with selective logging taking place between November and April. Once the wood is sourced, it is air dried and aged for 24-28 months before cooperage.
Balázs Barrels is establishing a direct cooperation with the forestry workers, ensuring the continuous supply of the best quality oak, allowing them to source and work with the most excellent oak for wine barrel manufacturing from the foremost Hungarian forests.
