Our Commitment to Yeast Health
At SoCal Brewing Supply, we take yeast storage and viability seriously. All yeast is stored under refrigeration with 24/7 temperature monitoring to ensure quality.
We recommend purchasing an ice pack and insulated mailer when ordering liquid yeast to help protect against temperature fluctuations in transit. While ice packs may melt during shipping, they buffer yeast from extreme heat and cold for better viability on arrival.
