White Labs PurePitch - WLP618 NA All Day

White Labs PurePitch WLP618 NA All Day: This strain of non-conventional brewing yeast, Saccharomycodes ludwigii, has been found to be useful when brewing a low alcohol beer. This specific strain has been chosen because of its lower ethyl acetate production compared to similar strains. This species does not ferment maltose or other larger sugars and will only ferment the glucose, sucrose, and fructose.

This strain is appropriate for all styles of low alcohol beer. Although this would be categorized as a wild yeast, this strain would not typically be considered a beer spoiler as it does not have the ability to ferment larger sugars. Using this strain to create a low alcohol beer requires a modified recipe.

Recommended For: Non-Alcohol/Low Alcohol Beer

Attenuation: 20%

Flocculation: Medium

Optimum Fermentation Temp: 68 - 75F (20 - 24C)

Alcohol Tolerance: 2 - 5%

STA1 QC Result: Negative

Concerned about shipping? Don`t be! We ship all of our liquid yeast with ice packs during the warmer months.

White Labs NEW PurePitch has improved shelf life through process improvements and laboratory analysis, White Labs monitor the glycogen content of the yeast cells to give them more energy when starting a fermentation.

Each PurePitch package pitches a consistent 7.5 million cells/mL.

PurePitch Next Generation features a breathable proprietary dual-layer film designed to allow for more effective off-gassing to reduce product inflation and deliver higher viability and shelf life for the yeast. While the industry standard shelf life is 2-4 weeks, PurePitch Next Generation achieves an impressive five to seven-month shelf life. The cap allows for ease of use, no more scissors or fumbling with two-layer film, and the option to open and reseal for sampling or using partial pouches.

A QR code on each package directs you to all the information you need to make the best beer: the quality report of every lot, additional strain-specific information, data, and recipes. ?White Labs is the industry leader in quality with the same quality and care taken for every culture, including proprietary qPCR methods (developed with Invisible Sentinel) for higher limits of detection. The online pitch rate calculator will recommend the right amount of yeast for a foolproof fermentation or allow you to customize the amount based on your desired pitching rate.
