Omega Beer Yeast OYL-071 Lutra Kveik

FREE ICE PACK available with your yeast purchase.

Please request one in the ORDER NOTES section at checkout.

After a conversation with Lance Shaner, Owner of Omega yeast, the following was added to the FAQ section of their website:

My pack of yeast is swollen. Is the yeast still good to use?

Swelling of the pack is not an indication of a problem with the yeast. It is the result of slow fermentation of residual fermentables during storage. The yeast is still perfectly fine to use (assuming it is within date and has been stored properly).

OYL071. Isolated from our Hornindal Kveik (OYL-091) culture, Lutra™ is shockingly clean with unrivaled speed when pitched at 90°F (32°C). The strain is perfect for brewing an even more neutral and refreshing pseudo-lager at its lower temperatures, without the lead time of a traditional lager yeast. Lutra is your worry-free way to navigate the evolving demand for cold ones.

You may notice your homebrew package states Lutra Kveik’s ABV as 11%. We have tested Lutra’s limits extensively in hard seltzer fermentations, and find that Lutra will fully attenuate sugar-based fermentations to produce up to 15% ABV! Happy brewing!
