Omega OYL-011 British Ale V Yeast for Clear, Malt-Forward English Ales
Omega Yeast OYL-011 British Ale V is a British ale strain for brewers who want strong flocculation, a malt-supportive fermentation profile, and enough restrained fruit character to keep traditional English-style beers lively without pushing them out of balance. It is a practical fit for bitters, milds, porters, stouts, and other pub-style recipes where clarity and drinkability matter.
Based on Omega's published guidance and current retailer technical references, this strain typically offers 68% to 72% attenuation, high flocculation, up to 10% ABV tolerance, and a recommended fermentation range of 64 to 72°F. It is especially useful when you want a beer to settle well and let the malt profile stay in front.

Liquid Yeast Storage and Shipping
We store liquid yeast in temperature-monitored refrigeration to help preserve yeast health until shipment. Once in transit, weather and carrier handling are outside our control, so liquid yeast customers should choose shipping protection based on season, route, and transit time.
Expedited shipping, insulated mailers, and ice packs can materially reduce risk for liquid yeast during warm-weather transit. Dry yeast is generally much less risky to ship than liquid yeast.
