Fermaid® K is a blended complex yeast nutrient that supplies ammonia salts (DAP), free amino acids (organic nitrogen derived from inactivated yeast), sterols, unsaturated fatty acids, key nutrients (magnesium sulfate, thiamin, folic acid, niacin, biotin, calcium pantothenate) and inactive yeast.For best results, Fermaid K should be used in conjunction with an appropriate yeast rehydration nutrient (such as Go-Ferm or Go-Ferm Protect) to assure proper nutrition of cultured yeast from rehydration through completed fermentation. Add 25 g/hL at 1/3 sugar depletion or in two doses; 12.5 g/hL at the end of lag phase and 12.5 g/hL at 1/3 sugar depletion.Fermaid K provides unsaturated fatty acids and sterols. These are important survival factors needed to maintain alcohol resistance and permease activity. They also help keep volatile acidity levels low.Nitrogen is needed for protein synthesis and to maintain cellular growth. Nitrogen from the alpha amino acids contained in Fermaid K is utilized much more efficiently than from the ammonia salts.The cell wall fractions in Fermaid K absorb short and medium chain fatty acids that are toxic to the yeast. They also provide nucleation sites to help keep the yeast in suspension.To UseFermaid K should be mixed with room temperature water before adding to an active fermentation to avoid CO2 release and overflowing of tanks or barrels. The amount of water used is not critical. Simply add enough to make a slurry.StorageDated expiration. Store at 18°C(65°F). Once opened, keep tightly sealed and dry.Recommended Dosage1 g/gal 25 g/hL 2 lb/1000 gal

Kveik is a Norwegian word meaning yeast. In the Norwegian farmhouse tradition, kveik was preserved by drying and passed from generation to generation. Kveik is the original, traditional dried yeast! The LalBrew® Voss strain was obtained from Sigmund Gjernes (Voss, Norway), who has maintained this culture using traditional methods since the 1980’s and generously shared it with the wider brewing community. LalBrew® Voss supports a wide range of fermentation temperatures between 25-40°C (77-104°F) with a very high optimal range of 35-40°C (95-104°F). Very fast fermentations are achieved within the optimal temperature range with full attenuation typically achieved within 2-3 days. The flavor profile is consistent across the entire temperature range: neutral with subtle fruity notes of orange and citrus. Flocculation is very high producing clear beers without filtration or use of process aids. QUICK FACTS Beer Styles: Norwegian farmhouse ales, fast fermented neutral ales Aroma: Relatively neutral, at high temperatures slight orange and citrus notes Attenuation: Medium to High Fermentation Range: 25 - 40°C (77 - 104°F); Optimal: 35 - 40°C (95 - 104°F) Flocculation: Very High Alcohol Tolerance: 12% ABV Pitching Rate: 50-100g/hl to achieve a minimum of 2.5-5 million viable cells/ml BREWING PROPERTIESIn Lallemand’s Standard Conditions Wort at 20°C (68°F) LalBrew® Voss yeast exhibits: Fermentation that is completed in: 2 days at 40°C (104°F) 3-4 days at 30°C (86°F) 5-7 days at 25°C (77°F) Medium to high attenuation and very high flocculation. Neutral flavor profile across the temperature range with notes of orange and citrus./li> The optimal temperature range for LalBrew® Voss yeast when producing traditional styles is 35-40°C (95-104°F) Lag phase, total fermentation time, attenuation and flavor are dependent on pitch rate, yeast handling, fermentation temperature and nutritional quality of the wort. Our research suggests that pitching LalBrew® Voss directly into wort without prior rehydration will often result in better performance including shorter lag-phase and greater attenuation USAGE The pitch rate will affect the fermentation performance and flavor of the beer. For LalBrew® Voss yeast, a pitch rate of 50-100g per hL of wort is sufficient to achieve a minimum of 2.5-5 million viable cells/mL. More stressful fermentations such as high gravity, high adjunct or high acidity may require higher pitch rates and additional nutrients to ensure a healthy fermentation. REHYDRATION Rehydration of dry brewing yeast in sterile water is generally recommended prior to pitching into wort in order to reduce stress on the cell as it transitions from dry to liquid form. However, our research suggests that pitching LalBrew® Voss directly into wort without prior rehydration will often result in better performance including shorter lag-phase and greater attenuation. Use of a rehydration nutrient such as Go-Ferm Protect Evolution has been shown to improve fermentation performance for difficult fermentations. Rehydration guidelines are quite simple and present a much lower risk of contamination than a starter, which is unnecessary when using the recommended pitch rate of dried active yeast. Sprinkle the yeast on the surface of 10 times its weight in clean, sterilized water at 30-35°C (86-95F). Do not use wort, or distilled or reverse osmosis water, as loss in viability may result. Stir gently, leave undisturbed for 15 minutes, then stir to suspend yeast completely. Leave it to rest for 5 more minutes at 30-35°C. Without delay, adjust the temperature to that of the wort by mixing aliquots of wort with the rehydrated yeast. Wort should be added in 5 minute intervals and taking care not to lower the temperature by more than 10°C at a time. Temperature shock of >10°C will cause formation of petite mutants leading to extended or incomplete fermentation and possible formation of undesirable flavors. Do not allow attemperation to be carried out by natural heat loss. This will take too long and could result in loss of viability or vitality Inoculate without delay into cooled wort in the fermenter. LalBrew® Voss yeast has been conditioned to survive rehydration. The yeast contains an adequate reserve of carbohydrates and unsaturated fatty acids to achieve active growth. It is unnecessary to aerate wort upon first use. STORAGE LalBrew® Voss yeast should be stored in a vacuum sealed package in dry conditions below 4C° (39°F). LalBrew® Voss will rapidly lose activity after exposure to air. Do not use 500g or 11g packs that have lost vacuum. Opened packs must be re-sealed, stored in dry conditions below 4°C (39°F), and used within 3 days. If the opened package is re-sealed under vacuum immediately after opening, yeast can be stored below 4C° (39°F) until the indicated expiry date. Do not use yeast after expiry date printed on the pack. 11g Pack

Go-Ferm Protect is a new formulation of Go-FermGo-Ferm Protect is a natural yeast nutrient that is added to the yeast hydration water before adding your selected yeast strain. Its complex formula provides your yeast with the proper sterols, unsaturated fatty acids and micronutrients needed to begin fermentation in optimal shape. The great thing about Go-Ferm Protect is that the proper nutrients and vitamins are introduced BEFORE the yeast is added to the must. This way 100% of the nutrients are available to your selected yeast strain and won't be stolen away by any indigenous yeast or bacteria that may be present in the must before your yeast can become established.New Advanced Formula!Go-Ferm Protect was created as a result of a multi-year study of problem fermentations by Lallemand and the National Agricultural Research Institute (INRA) in France. During this period, they looked at the adverse effects on the yeast from overripe fruit (>28 Brix), low nutrient levels, over clarification of the juice and poor fruit quality (Botrytis, rot, high bacteria count, insecticide and fungicide residue). Their research showed that musts deficient in sterols and unsaturated fatty acids made yeast more susceptible to ethanol toxicity (high alcohol), osmotic shock (high sugar), temperature and others stress factors. In response to this data they created the NATSTEP (NATural STErol Protection) process that incorporated sterols, unsaturated fatty acids, as well as vitamins and minerals into an advance yeast rehydration nutrient: Go-Ferm Protect.Go-Ferm Protect provides a combination of protective and nutritional benefits that ensure your yeast begins your fermentation in peak form! The best part is that if your fruit is in great shape then Go-Ferm Protect will simply help your yeast out that much more!Go-Ferm Protect does not contain any DAP, as DAP is harmful to the yeast during the rehydration process. GO-Ferm is usually used in conjunction with Fermaid K yeast nutrient; where Go-Ferm Protect is used at yeast hydration then Fermaid K is added at the first signs of fermentation and again after 1/3 sugar depletion.To UseUse at a rate of 1.25 g Go-Ferm Protect per 1 g of yeast. A rough approximation of weight is 1 tsp = 3.2 grams. It is highly recommend using a scale to weigh the product for an accurate dose. It is not recommend relying on these rough conversions for accurate dosage rates.

Prominent notes of apricot and undertones of tropical fruit and citrus merge seamlessly with hop aromas. With medium-high attenuation, LalBrew® Verdant IPA leaves a soft and balanced malt profile with slightly more body than a typical American IPA yeast strain. This highly versatile strain is well suited for a variety of beer styles including NEIPA, English IPA, American Pale, English Bitter, Sweet Stout and Sours. QUICK FACTS Beer Styles: NEIPA, English IPA, American Pale, English Bitter, Sweet Stout, Sours Aroma: Apricot with notes of tropical fruit and citrus Attenuation: Medium to High Fermentation Range: 18 - 23°C (64 - 73°F) Flocculation: Moderate Alcohol Tolerance: 10% ABV Pitching Rate: 50-100g/hl to achieve a minimum of 2.5 - 5 million viable cells/ml BREWING PROPERTIES In Lallemand’s Standard Conditions Wort at 20°C (68°F) LalBrew® Verdant IPA yeast exhibits: Fermentation that can be completed in 5 days. Medium to high attenuation and moderate flocculation. Aroma and flavor is dominated by apricot with notes of tropical fruit and balanced malt character. The optimal temperature range for LalBrew® Verdant IPA yeast when producing traditional styles is 18°C (64°F) to 23°C (73°F). Lag phase, total fermentation time, attenuation and flavor are dependent on pitch rate, yeast handling, fermentation temperature and nutritional quality of the wort. REHYDRATION Rehydration of LalBrew® Verdant IPA in sterile water is recommended prior to pitching into wort in order to reduce stress on the cell as it transitions from dry to liquid form. For many fermentations, this stress is not significant enough to affect fermentation performance and flavor, so good results may also be achieved when pitching dry yeast directly into wort. We highly recommend rehydration in harsher fermentation conditions such as high gravity or sour wort where the added stress of dry-pitching is more likely to have a greater impact on the finished beer. Use of a rehydration nutrient such as Go-Ferm Protect Evolution has been shown to improve fermentation performance for difficult fermentations. Rehydration guidelines are quite simple and present a much lower risk of contamination than a starter, which is unnecessary when using the recommended pitch rate of dried active yeast. Sprinkle the yeast on the surface of 10 times its weight in clean, sterilized water at 30-35°C (86-95F). Do not use wort, or distilled or reverse osmosis water, as loss in viability may result. Stir gently, leave undisturbed for 15 minutes, then stir to suspend yeast completely. Leave it to rest for 5 more minutes at 30-35°C. Without delay, adjust the temperature to that of the wort by mixing aliquots of wort with the rehydrated yeast. Wort should be added in 5 minute intervals and taking care not to lower the temperature by more than 10°C at a time.

Inoculate without delay into cooled wort in the fermenter. LalBrew® Verdant IPA yeast has been conditioned to survive rehydration. The yeast contains an adequate reserve of carbohydrates and unsaturated fatty acids to achieve active growth. It is unnecessary to aerate wort upon first use. STORAGE LalBrew® Verdant IPA yeast should be stored in a vacuum sealed package in dry conditions below 4°C (39°F). LalBrew® Verdant IPA will rapidly lose activity after exposure to air. Do not use 500g or 11g packs that have lost vacuum. Opened packs must be re-sealed, stored in dry conditions below 4°C (39°F), and used within 3 days. If the opened package is re-sealed under vacuum immediately after opening, yeast can be stored below 4°C (39°F) until the indicated expiry date. Do not use yeast after expiry date printed on the pack. Performance is guaranteed when stored correctly and before the expiry date. However, Lallemand dry brewing yeast is very robust and some strains can tolerate brief periods under sub-optimal conditions. 11g Pack

WildBrew™ Philly Sour produces moderate amounts of lactic acid in addition to ethanol in one simple fermentation step. This first yeast in the WildBrew™ series is a great choice for innovative, sessionable sour beers with refreshing acidity and notes of stone fruit. With high attenuation, high flocculation and good head retention, WildBrew™ Philly Sour is an ideal yeast for traditional styles such as Berliner Weiss, Gose, American Lambic Style, American Wild Ales and its resistance to hops make it perfect for Sour IPA’s. QUICK FACTS Beer Styles: Berliner Weisse, Gose, lambic-style, American Wild, and Sour IPA Aroma: Sour, red apple, stone fruit, peach Attenuation: High Fermentation Range: 20 - 25°C (68 - 77°F) Flocculation: High Alcohol Tolerance: 9% ABV Pitching Rate: 50-100g/hl to achieve a minimum of 0.5-1 million viable cells/ml BREWING PROPERTIES In Lallemand’s Standard Conditions Wort at 20°C (68°F) WildBrew™ Philly Sour yeast exhibits: Fermentation that can be completed in 10 days. High attenuation and High flocculation. Aroma and flavor is sour, red apple and stone fruit, notably peach. The optimal temperature range for WildBrew™ Philly Sour yeast when producing traditional styles is 20°C(68°F) to 25°C(77°F). In the Lallemand standard conditions wort, typical pH of 3.2-3.5 and titratable acidity of 0.1-0.4% lactic acid are achieved. Higher lactic acid levels will be achieved in worts that are higher in glucose. Lag phase, total fermentation time, attenuation and flavor are dependent on pitch rate, yeast handling, fermentation temperature and nutritional quality of the wort. USAGE The pitch rate will affect the fermentation performance and flavor of the beer. For WildBrew™ Philly Sour yeast, a pitch rate 50-100 g per hL of wort is sufficient to achieve a minimum of 0.5 - 1 million viable cells/mL. More stressful fermentations such as high gravity, high adjunct or high acidity may require higher pitch rates and additional nutrients to ensure a healthy fermentation. WildBrew™ Philly Sour is a slow fermenting, killer negative strain and will tend to be outcompeting by other brewing strains. For this reason, it is not recommended to re-pitch this strain. WildBrew™ Philly Sour is not recommended for bottle conditioning applications. A dedicated bottle conditioning strain such as LalBrew® CBC-1 should be used when bottle conditioning WildBrew™ Philly Sour fermentations. As a non-Saccharomyces species, WildBrew™ Philly Sour should be treated according to normal best practices for handling wild yeast. REHYDRATION Rehydration of WildBrew™ Philly Sour in sterile water is recommended prior to pitching into wort in order to reduce stress on the cell as it transitions from dry to liquid form.
