For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast.

Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.

Belgian Pale
This helped us make a delicious Belgian pale ale. Interacted beautifully with some Nelson Savin hops - OK, not a strict Belgian pale, obviously, but a great summer brew!

Awesome Belgian Yeast
Lag time was a little longer than expected (about 12 hours in oxygenated wort) even though I popped the inner pouch to make a starter-like pitch. That said, the ester profile was wonderful and flocculation was great! Will definitely order this one for my next Belgian.

Efficient, Clean, and Tasty
This is quickly becoming my most useful Belgian yeast. I have used it to brew a Summer Saison and a Tripel, both very successfully and with wonderful results. As it has been said, this yeast produces very clear and balanced ales and is quite capable of working at high gravity without any trouble. I would highly recommend it.

WOW
I have ordered Wyeast packs from other brew companies....let me say this, Morebeer packs and ships much quicker than anywhere else, and the wyeast arrived in perfect condition. The packaging was not swelling from sitting in a hot warehouse for days and days.

The yeast itself is amazing. I used it for a SMASH Saison and it came out great. I am getting raving reviews on the beer and the great yeast flavor. Took a boring grain and hop build to a great beer. Will be ordering this again and again.

Great Belgian Yeast
A slow starter like some of my other Belgian yeasts have been but a great yeast, makes a clean and relatively clear beer
