Omega Yeast Labs Jovaru Lithuanian Farmhouse

Omega Yeast Labs Jovaru Lithuanian Farmhouse is a historic yeast strain that originates from the renowned Jovaru Brewery. This strain is known for its citrusy esters and restrained phenols, which provide a unique lemon pith and black pepper character to your beer. It also contributes to a soft mouthfeel, making it an ideal choice for crafting farmhouse beers or a great Wit.

The Jovaru Lithuanian Farmhouse yeast strain is a product of Aldona Udriene, the queen of Lithuanian farmhouse beer. This strain has been in use since the mid-19th century, adding a touch of history to your brewing process. It tests positive for the STA1 gene, an indicator of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus.
