CellarScience® NECTAR Dry Yeast

Description

Description

A fun, unique yeast with a UK pedigree that emphasizes fresh malt flavor while producing fruity, citrus and floral flavors. Perfect for Pale Ales and IPA's.

Every batch is PCR tested to ensure contamination free yeast. 

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.

Direct Pitch or Rehydrate:
NECTAR yeast can be direct pitched with great results by sprinkling it onto the surface of the wort in your fermenter. However, proper hydration helps ensure a healthy fermentation and is especially recommended for beer with a starting gravity above 15°P (1.061 SG). To hydrate yeast, first sanitize the yeast pack and a pair of scissors. Boil tap water to sterilize and then cool to 85-95°F (29-35°C). Use 10 grams (0.35 oz) of water per gram of yeast. Sprinkle the yeast onto the water, allow the slurry to stand undisturbed for 20 minutes, and then swirl. Use small amounts of wort to adjust the temperature of the slurry to within 10°F (6°C) of the wort temp before pitching. Ferment between 64-72°F (18-22°C).

Optimum Fermentation Temp: 64-72°F
Flocculation: Medium
Alcohol Tolerance: 12% ABV
Similar Strains: N/A
Attenuation: 75-80%
Gluten-free

    First Try.

    My first try using Nectar. Used some of the cooled wort as a starter and yeast activated vigorously. When added to the fermentor it has shown no visual activity. I keep checking the gravity and it seems to be working its magic. Time will tell.
