Pomona IPA Ale Yeast, 11 G

Unlock the potential of your hop-forward beers with this Pomona Yeast.

Pomona is a hybrid yeast that was meticulously selected for its exceptional flavour and fermentation performance in hoppy beers. Named after the goddess of fruit trees, Pomona produces a unique and juicy flavour profile, featuring delightful notes of peach, citrus, and tropical fruits. This strain was developed through advanced yeast breeding and adaptive laboratory evolution techniques by their partners at Escarpment Laboratories in Canada. These processes involved rigorous testing in high ABV and highly hopped IPA fermentations, ensuring a strain that is both fruity and robust.

The result is a stress-tolerant yeast that excels in biotransformation and enhances haze, making it ideal for modern IPA styles. Its ability to handle high-stress fermentation environments and maintain robust activity ensures that your IPAs will have the desired hazy appearance and a vibrant, fruity character that stands out.

Key Features:

• Hop-Forward Flavour: Produces a distinctive aroma of peach, citrus, and tropical fruits, accentuating the hop character of your beer.
• High Viability: Each gram contains over 1 billion live yeast cells, ensuring vigorous fermentation.
• Efficient Fermentation: Completes fermentation in just 4-5 days at 20°C, ideal for rapid production cycles.
• Balanced Profile: Medium to high attenuation and medium flocculation, resulting in a well-rounded beer.
• Alcohol Tolerance: Over 10% ABV, suitable for a wide range of IPA styles.

Usage Instructions:

• Pitching Rate: Adjust based on beer style, wort gravity, and fermentation temperature. Recommended rate is 0.5 to 1 gram per 1 litre of wort.
• Direct Pitching: Simply sprinkle the dry yeast on the wort surface as the fermenter is being filled. This method is straightforward and ensures consistent performance.
• Rehydration: If rehydration is necessary, follow the precise guidelines to maintain yeast health and fermentation efficiency.
