Omega Yeast Labs Tropical IPA Liquid Yeast

Omega Yeast Labs Tropical IPA Liquid Yeast is a unique Saccharomyces strain that delivers a delicate, tart, tropical mango and pineapple fruit flavor to your homebrewed beer. This yeast strain is perfect for beer making, especially if you're aiming for a tropical twist in your IPA. It provides a clean finish to your brew, enhancing the overall flavor profile.

To maximize the tropical characteristics of your beer, consider fermenting at higher temperatures. Although this yeast strain is non-flocculent, meaning it doesn't cluster and settle at the bottom of the fermenter, the exceptional taste it imparts to your beer is worth the extra effort.

This Omega Yeast Labs product tests positive for the STA1 gene, a marker of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus. This means it can ferment dextrins, leading to very high attenuation and contributing to a dry finish in your beer.

Here are some key features of the Omega Yeast Labs Tropical IPA Liquid Yeast:

- Strain Type: Ales, making it ideal for brewing ales with a tropical twist.
- Flocculation: Low, which means it remains suspended in the beer, contributing to a hazy appearance.
- Attenuation: 82-90%, indicating its ability to convert sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
- Temperature Range: 70–85° F (21–29° C).
- Diastatic: Yes, it can break down dextrins, resulting in a dry finish.
- Phenolic: No, it doesn't produce phenolic compounds, which can contribute to off-flavors.
- Alcohol Tolerance: 10% ABV, making it suitable for brewing stronger beers.

Whether you're a professional brewer or a homebrewing enthusiast, Omega Yeast Labs Tropical IPA Liquid Yeast offers metabolically healthy cells that produce vigorous fermentation and consistent results.
