Omega Yeast Labs West Coast Ale II Liquid Yeast

Omega Yeast Labs West Coast Ale II Liquid Yeast is a versatile strain that is an excellent choice for your home brewing needs. This yeast provides a soft, clean profile with hints of nut, and a slightly tart finish. You can manipulate the fermentation temperature to bring out different characteristics in your beer. Fermenting at warmer temperatures accentuates the hop character with an increased fruitiness. Alternatively, fermenting cool results in a clean, light citrus character.

This yeast strain is ideal for all American beer styles. It attenuates well and is reliably flocculent, which means it produces bright beer without the need for filtration. This is a great way to differentiate your beer from those made with other strains.

Here are some key features of the Omega Yeast Labs West Coast Ale II Liquid Yeast:

- Strain Type: Ales. This yeast is perfect for brewing ales of all types.
- Flocculation: Medium. This means the yeast clumps together and settles at the bottom of the fermenter, making it easier to separate from the beer.
- Attenuation: 72-76%. This refers to the percentage of sugars the yeast will consume, which can affect the final alcohol content and sweetness of your beer.
- Temperature Range: 60–72° F (16–22° C). This yeast performs well within this temperature range, giving you flexibility in your brewing process.
- Diastatic: No. This means the yeast does not produce enzymes that can break down certain types of sugars, which can affect the final flavor of your beer.
- Phenolic: No. This yeast does not produce phenolic compounds, which can give beer a spicy or smoky flavor.
- Alcohol Tolerance: 10% ABV. This yeast can survive in beers with an alcohol content of up to 10%.

In addition to beer making, this yeast can also be used in baking to create unique flavors in breads and other baked goods. So, whether you're a home brewer or a home baker, the Omega Yeast Labs West Coast Ale II Liquid Yeast is a versatile addition to your pantry.
