Description

The ideal strain for fermenting expressive New England IPAs or Hazy Pale Ales. Produces a well-balanced tropical fruity ester profile and leaves beer with a hazy appearance.

Every batch is PCR tested to ensure contamination free yeast. 

Dosage:
One sachet is enough to treat a 5–6 gallon batch. When calculating for larger batches, use at a rate of 2–3 grams per gallon of wort. We recommend rounding up by one full sachet rather than measuring out the yeast exactly.

Direct Pitch or Rehydrate:
HAZY yeast is designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no oxygenation required in the initial fermentation. Our aerobic growth process makes this possible by creating dry yeast with high viability and high sterol levels. HAZY yeast is pre-loaded with essential nutrients to ensure a successful, complete fermentation. While not required, some brewers prefer to rehydrate yeast. To hydrate yeast, first, sanitize the yeast brick and scissors. Use 10 grams of sterilized tap water between 85-95°F (29-35°C) mixed with 0.25 grams of FermStart per gram of yeast. Sprinkle yeast on the water. Allow the slurry to stand undisturbed for 20 minutes, then swirl. Use small amounts of wort to adjust to within 10°F (6°C) of wort temperature before pitching. Ferment between 62-75°F (17-24°C).

Optimum Fermentation Temp: 62-75°F
Flocculation: Medium-Low
Alochol Tolerance: 11-12% ABV
Attenuation: 75-80%

Why spend more on liquid. Plenty of cells in this bag.

How does this yeast compare with the LalBrew Verdant and New England yeasts?
George R on Jan 24, 2023
BEST ANSWER: We found this yeast accentuates hops more than the Verdant. The Verdant left a little more malt character on the bone.

Great for hazy IPA
Its really good. Used it 2 times in hazy IPAs. Creates stable haze & does the hop biotransformation thing. Most likely some sort of London Ale 3 derivative. I subtracted a point, because both times I've used it, it was a slow starter (30 + hrs). Didn't rehydrate though, this might make a difference.

Super yeast
Love the CelllarScience dry yeast. Just beware, these are extremely aggressive. I usually have to use a blowoff tube every time I use them.

No Fermentation
I use dry yeast all the time, but this was the first time using a dry yeast for a Hazy, I followed the instructions and hydrated the yeast and pitched. 2 days later no activity. I"ve kept the wort at a consistant 70 deg. Just pitched another yeast strain to do the job. Won't buy again!!

Stuck fermentation twice
Have tried to use this yeast a few times instead of trusty London Ale III and both times have gotten stuck fermentation. Pitched directly and oxygenated (packaging says otherwise) and both times no activity within 48 hours at 68°. Will be using some backup yeast to get current batch up and bubbling.

Great yeast for Hazy IPA
I used this yeast for the first time with my house hazy IPA recipe (6.6% ABV, 50 IBU). The malt bills was 70
% pale ale malt and 10% each flaked wheat, flaked oats, and malted wheat. I hopped it with equal parts Citra, Galaxy and HBC 586, all split evenly between whirlpool and dry hops.

The yeast performed great. It produced a smooth, creamy beer with fruity notes and a very round mouthfeel. I was very impressed.

This was a spilt batch with half fermented with Verdant IPA yeast and the other half with Cellar science Hazy yeast. Verdant performed well (as it usually does for me), but the half fermented with Hazy was just a little better since it seemed slightly les bitter, more full, and more sweet and fruity. I look forward to using this yeast again, and I am glad to have a really good dry yeast to use on my Hazies!

My attenuation with Hazy was 78% having mashed at 153 F.
