LalBrew Novalager Modern Hybrid Lager Yeast – 500g Brick

LalBrew NovaLager is a true bottom-fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid from the novel Group III lineage that has been selected to produce clean lager beers with distinct flavor characteristics and superior fermentation performance. LalBrew NovaLager is a robust lager strain with ideal characteristics for lager beer production including fast fermentations and high attenuation.

The distinct flavor profile is very clean, slight esters over a wide temperature range. LalBrew NovaLager was selected using classical and non-GMO breeding methods to obtain a novel Saccharomyces cerevisiae x Saccharomyces eubayanus hybrid strain that defines a novel Group III lager lineage that is distinct from any other traditional Saccharomyces pastorianus strains. This strain is a low VDK/diacetyl producer and utilizes patented technology from the University of California Davis (USA) that inhibits the production of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) off-flavors, therefore reducing the maturation time associated with lager beer production.
