Whiteout Yeast | Imperial Yeast B44
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.

This yeast produces a balanced profile of spicy phenolic character and fruity esters, delivering the distinctive flavors expected in traditional Belgian beers.

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.
