• Solids Percentage: 93% - 97%
• Viability: ≥ 1 x 10⁹ CFU per gram of dry yeast
• Wild Yeasts: < 1 per 10⁶ yeast cells (Lysine)
• Bacteria: < 1 per 10⁴ yeast cells

Fermentation Performance

• Fermentation Duration: A vigorous fermentation that can be completed in 7 days at 20°C
• Fermentation Range: 18 - 22°C (64 - 72°F)
• Attenuation: High
• Flocculation: High
• Alcohol Tolerance: 10% vol.

Usage

• Inoculation Rate: Adjust based on the beer style, initial wort gravity, and fermentation temperature. For Essential® IPA, a rate of 50 to 100 grams per 100 liters of wort is recommended.
• Direct Inoculation: The preferred method for inoculating the wort, ensuring consistent fermentation performance and reducing contamination risks.
• Rehydration: Used when equipment does not allow for direct inoculation.

Storage

Store Essential® IPA yeast in vacuum-sealed packaging, in a dry place, at a temperature below 4°C (39°F). Do not use 500g packages that are no longer vacuum-sealed. Opened packages must be resealed, stored dry at below 4°C (39°F), and used within 3 days. Do not use yeast after the expiration date indicated on the package.
