Omega Yeast Labs HotHead Ale Liquid Yeast is a highly flocculent Norwegian ale strain (kveik) that boasts an impressively wide temperature range, with little change in flavor across the range. It's clean enough for both American and English beer styles, enhancing your brew with a unique honey-like aroma and overripe mango notes. This yeast is particularly complementary to modern, fruity hops, adding depth and complexity to your beer.
This yeast strain's specifications include:
- Strain Type: Kveiks, a traditional Norwegian yeast that is known for its high alcohol tolerance and unique flavor profile.
- Flocculation: Medium-High, which means it clumps together well, making it easier to separate from the beer after fermentation.
- Attenuation: 75-82%, indicating the percentage of sugar it can convert into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
- Temperature Range: 68–95° F (20–35° C), offering a wide range for fermentation.
- Diastatic: No, meaning it doesn't contain the enzymes that can break down complex sugars, making it ideal for certain beer styles.
- Phenolic: No, so it won't produce any spicy or smoky flavors in your beer.
- Alcohol Tolerance: 11% ABV, making it suitable for brewing stronger beers.
One of the key advantages of using Omega Yeast Labs HotHead Ale Liquid Yeast in your beer-making process is that temperature control is unnecessary with this strain. This yeast is non-phenolic and produces no noticeable fusels, even at higher temperatures, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable flavor in your homemade beer.
While primarily used in beer making, this versatile yeast can also be used in the production of ciders and meads, offering a unique flavor profile to these beverages. So, whether you're a seasoned brewer or just starting out, Omega Yeast Labs HotHead Ale Liquid Yeast is a reliable choice to enhance your brewing experience.
