YF 103 Steamprunk Liquid Yeast — British‑style yeast designed for modern hopped beers such as New England IPA. It transforms hop‑derived geraniol into aromatic terpenes, revealing notes of peach, citrus, and tropical fruits. Its smooth fermentation produces a creamy texture and moderate haze, typical of NEIPA. Tolerant to slightly higher temperatures, it remains stable and efficient even under home‑brewing conditions.

- Vibrant, fruity aroma profile, ideal for modern hopped beers.
