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.

Ferocious Fermentation

I pitched the 2633 yesterday evening into an Oktoberfest I'm making for later this year, and the fermentation activity is off the charts. Wow. I made a 1L yeast starter so I'm sure this helped. I let the primary sit overnight at 65F to make sure it had a healthy start and now I have it at 50F. So far, I am very happy with this yeast. It also doesn't have a very sulfury smell, double bonus.
