In the world of brewing, yeast plays a decisive role. It shapes the aromatic profile, the texture, and the balance of the beer. Yet many homebrewers still hesitate to switch to liquid yeast.
The main reasons? Often a higher cost and more delicate storage.
Today, we welcome a new brand to Rolling Beers: YeastFlow.
This Hungarian laboratory is revolutionizing access to liquid yeast. It offers ultra‑fresh, highly stable strains that are truly accessible to everyone.
In this article, discover what YeastFlow is and why these strains will transform your next brews.
Who is YeastFlow?
Founded in 2018 in Hungary, YeastFlow is a company specialized in fermentation. It produces liquid yeasts of impeccable purity.
Their laboratory applies strict microbiological controls. The result: zero contamination recorded since the brand was created.
Already praised by more than 150 professional breweries across Europe, the brand is now arriving in France.
Their mission is clear: to offer the precision of liquid yeast at the price of dry yeast.
Why switch to YeastFlow liquid yeasts?
Using liquid yeast comes with multiple advantages:
- More complex aromatic profiles: you get unique esters and phenols.
- Maximum vitality: the cells arrive already hydrated and ready to work; direct pitch up to 25 liters and an initial gravity of 1.055.
- Impeccable purity: strict controls guarantee an ultra‑clean profile.
- Unbeatable price: professional quality accessible to all homebrewers.
Looking for a juicy NEIPA, an abbey ale, or a traditional style? Liquid yeast makes all the difference.
Our selection: 3 essential strains to try
We’re adding more than 12 strains to our catalog. Here are 3 gems you should put in your fermenter right away:
1. YF‑114 Crazy Hazy — For explosive NEIPAs
The perfect equivalent of the famous WLP 066. This strain brings a juicy, silky texture and highlights modern hops beautifully. Ideal for Hazy IPAs, NEIPAs, and fruity Pale Ales.
2. YF‑116 St. Hedwig — To revive the Grodziskie
This traditional strain is dedicated to Grodziskie, known as the “Polish champagne.” It ferments smoked wheat beers wonderfully (up to 100% wheat!). The result is a light, lively, and subtly smoky beer.
3. YF‑203 Father Tibi — The soul of Abbey beers
Directly sourced from the renowned Achouffe brewery, this profile is remarkable. It develops spicy notes, ripe fruit, and typical Belgian esters. Perfect for Dubbels, Tripels, or creative Abbey reinterpretations.
How to use them in homebrewing
Using YeastFlow liquid yeast is simple and straightforward:
- Keep it cold: store the vial between 2 °C and 8 °C until brew day.
- Take it out early: on the morning of your brew, let the vial warm up to around 20 °C.
- Aerate the wort: make sure your cooled wort is well oxygenated.
- Pitch: pour the yeast directly and let the magic happen (usable without a starter up to 25 L and/or an initial gravity of 1.055).
In summary
With YeastFlow, choosing liquid yeast is no longer a luxury. You gain quality without increasing your brewing budget.
