Omega OYL-200 Tropical IPA Yeast for Juicy, Hop-Driven Hazy IPA Fermentation
Omega Yeast OYL-200 Tropical IPA is a modern ale strain selected for brewers who want to push tropical hop expression in hazy IPA, juicy pale ale, and other hop-saturated styles. Derived from an English ale lineage, it is built to support soft mouthfeel, expressive aroma, and the kind of fruit-forward fermentation profile that works especially well with varieties like Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy.
Based on current technical references tied to this product, the strain is typically listed at 78% to 85% attenuation, medium-low flocculation, up to 11% ABV tolerance, and a recommended fermentation range of 64 to 74°F. It is intended for brewers chasing bold tropical expression, stable haze, and a smooth finish in contemporary IPA formats.

- Hazy IPA suitability: Lower flocculation helps support the softer, haze-positive presentation many brewers want
- Soft fermentation profile: Useful for beers that should feel expressive without becoming harsh or overly dry

This strain is a strong option when the goal is to lean into tropical hop character rather than keep fermentation totally neutral. It is especially useful for brewers designing aromatic, haze-positive beers where ester profile, mouthfeel, and hop expression should work together.
Liquid Yeast Storage and Shipping
We store liquid yeast in temperature-monitored refrigeration to help protect 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, destination, 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.
