CellarScience VELO High Performance Ale Yeast 15g

VELO is a high-performance ale yeast selected for speed, flavour neutrality, and wide temperature tolerance. In internal sensory comparisons, VELO’s ester suppression and clean finish exceeded CellarScience CALI, while offering faster kinetics and a wide operating range that, within reason, can substantially reduce the need for temperature control. We’ve found it to be a dependable house strain across styles, especially for hop-forward ales. delivering clean results quickly while staying remarkably forgiving across real-world fermentation conditions.

Lagers Fermented at Warmer Temperatures (Sometimes called pseudo-lagers)
VELO excels in this role by delivering a clean, lager-like profile at ale fermentation temperatures. Its wide operating range (16–34°C), fast kinetics, and low ester/phenol expression let you run lager-style recipes without temperature control. When you ferment under pressure (up to 12 PSI), you can push these lager-like beers toward the upper end of VELO’s range right up to 34°C while still maintaining a neutral, crisp finish. High attenuation and medium–high flocculation help the beer finish dry and drop clear quickly, making VELO an amazing house strain for clean, lager-like beers on an ale timeline.

Why It Works in Seltzers
For hard seltzer production, VELO excels thanks to highly efficient metabolism of simple sugars (“mono- and disaccharides”) with low fusel and sulfur byproducts when supported by a complete nutrient regimen.
