Description
  • OYL-402 generates thiols through biotransformation, releasing tropical aromas experienced in southern hemisphere hops
  • Produces vibrant grapefruit, passion fruit and guava notes
  • For best results, use Phantasm Powder during whirlpool to add Thiol Precursors to your wort
  • Double pitch size with a minimum of 225 billion cells—twice the size of the standard yeast pitch
  • Proprietary propagation methods generate fresh, metabolically strong yeast cells and optimal biomass
  • Omega Yeast is founded on curiosity and innovation, expertly producing common workhorse varieties and many unique strains

Do you lie in bed at night wishing for someone (or some thing) to come abduct you from the monotony of house strains? Wouldn't you rather be beamed up to a colorful craft brew that's teeming with expressive notes of punchbowl flavors and tropical tang? Then hang a thumb out and hitch a ride on Omega Yeast's Cosmic Punch Ale. A Thiolized™ version of their popular hazy strain, British Ale V (OYL-011), Cosmic Punch™ Ale generates thiols through biotransformation, releasing tropical aromas experienced in southern hemisphere hops and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. This punchy strain unleashes vibrant passionfruit, grapefruit, and guava notes. Expect the same performance and haze you get from British V, but with additional thiol aromas. Experiment with mash hopping or wine grape-derived products to push even more thiols.

For best results, use Phantasm Powder during whirlpool to add Thiol Precursors to your wort before fermentation.

For a Thiolized strain that's will give you the clarity you want in a West Coast IPA, check out Omega's Star Party™ Ale (OYL404).

Attenuation: 71-75%
Flocculation: High
Alcohol Tolerance: 10% ABV
Optimum Fermentation Temp: 64-75°F
Strain Type: Ale
Cell Count: 225 Billion
 

Please Note: For best results we Always recommend ordering an Ice Pack with your liquid yeast. Ice Packs can be found below in the "You might Also Need" section.

Available only in the US and Canada. While we would love to make these strains available internationally, many countries regulations do not yet allow the sale of organisms developed using modern gene-editing, regardless of the type of modification introduced by the technique. Please feel free to contact us for more information!

**Patent Pending

Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.

This is one of the most interesting yeasts to hit the mainstream homebrew market recently. Try it if you want to accentuate tropical flavors in your IPAs--it works great!

Cosmic punch, fruit punch, all the punches!
This is my house strain now for my neipa's. It really brings out the fruit characteristics and aromas of the hops! And adds to the flavor and aroma with its own flavors and aromas. It definitely attenuates further than it says. This is my second time using it and it seems to attenuate to 78-80 percent. Also you can wash this yeast with no problems. Nobody really said if you could or not being it's thiolized. When you make a yeast starter after washing it, it will not produce as much Krausen after the first time making a yeast starter with it. Great yeast highly recommend.

Great yeast!
Took off and gave the final product a more juicy flavor and let the hops shine through - citrus, grapefruit and juicy aromas.

Great flavor. Burned though fermentation in about 4 days. Great Haze after kegging (small glass). Cleared some 2 weeks after kegging (large glass), but that's common for most of my beers.

Super yeast!!!
Yeast waited more than a month until they arrive in Russia. I thought they would die. According to the recommendation on the packaging, I made a starter. The fermentation was very violent. The aroma has amazing notes of tropical fruits, mainly passionfruit. I look forward to the end of fermentation and tasting!
