For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast.

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.

Great for English ales, if you want them a little drier than usual.

Fruity flavor perfect for British bitters

Curious to try a liquid yeast, and I know Wyeast has a strong reputation. Hope this strain pairs well with the Best Bitter kit I chose. We'll see!

Delicious
Ferments quickly and attenuates well. Very pleasant, subtle, complex profile that doesn't mask hop expression. Smooth without being bland. I love this strain.
