WLP618 NA All Day Yeast | White Labs Non-Alchoholic Beer

WLP618 White Labs NA All Day – Versatile Non-Alcoholic Yeast for Craft Brewing

White Labs WLP618 NA All Day is a revolutionary yeast strain designed specifically for producing flavorful non-alcoholic (NA) beers. This specialized Saccharomycodes ludwigii strain allows brewers to craft low-alcohol and NA beers while maintaining rich malt character and a clean fermentation profile. Unlike traditional ale or lager yeasts, WLP618 ferments only simple sugars, leaving behind body and complexity while keeping alcohol production minimal.

Enhance Your NA Beer with Rich Body and Balanced Flavor

WLP618 produces a smooth, well-rounded beer without excessive dryness, ensuring that non-alcoholic brews maintain depth and mouthfeel. It allows the malt and hop characteristics to shine without overwhelming esters or phenols. Brewers can use this strain for a variety of styles, including hop-forward NA IPAs, crisp golden ales, or maltier stouts and porters.

Best Practices for Brewing with WLP618

• Fermentation Temperature: 68–75°F (20–24°C)
• Attenuation: 20–30%
• Flocculation: Medium
• Alcohol Tolerance: Low
• Recommended Pitching Rate: Standard ale yeast rates
  To optimize fermentation, aerate the wort thoroughly and consider adjusting mash temperatures to control fermentable sugar content. The yeast works best when combined with nutrient additions to support healthy fermentation.

Our Commitment to Yeast Health

At SoCal Brewing Supply, we take yeast storage and viability very seriously. We ensure yeast is always stored under optimal conditions, with 24-hour monitoring of refrigerator temperatures to prevent spikes that could negatively impact yeast health.

For liquid yeast orders, we recommend shipping with an ice pack and insulated envelope to ensure your yeast arrives in top condition. It’s normal for ice packs to melt during transit; their purpose is to protect the yeast from extreme temperatures caused by external weather conditions.
