Omega OYL-217 C2C American Farmhouse Yeast for Rustic, Funky, Evolving Farmhouse Ales
Omega Yeast OYL-217 C2C American Farmhouse is a mixed-culture style fermentation blend for brewers who want rustic farmhouse character, fruit complexity, and evolving Brett-driven expression over time. Built around both Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces, it is a strong fit for farmhouse ales, saisons, and other mixed fermentation beers where layered aroma and flavor development matter more than a quick neutral turnaround.
Based on current technical references tied to this product, the blend is typically listed at 80%+ attenuation, medium flocculation, up to 12% ABV tolerance, and a recommended fermentation range of 68 to 80°F. Brewers using it should expect a profile that can continue to develop over time, especially with extended conditioning or package maturation.

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.
