German Ale Yeast | Wyeast 1007 Yeast
This yeast is 40% off because it’s within at least one month of its best by date. We never ship expired yeast, but it may arrive near or just past that date. In our own lab tests, we've seen up to 85% viability beyond the best by date—much better than most calculators predict. It's a smart way to save without compromising your brew.

How We Handle and Ship Yeast
At SoCal Brewing Supply, we store all liquid yeast under optimal refrigerated conditions with 24-hour temperature monitoring to ensure freshness and viability. For best results when ordering online, we recommend adding an ice pack to your order.
Note: Ice packs may arrive melted, which is normal. They are intended to reduce temperature shock during shipping and protect yeast through short transit times.
