Wyeast 4632 Dry Mead Yeast
Clean, Reliable Fermentation for Crisp & Dry Meads
Wyeast 4632 Dry Mead Yeast is a liquid yeast strain designed specifically for meadmakers seeking clean, dry fermentations with minimal ester production. Known for its ability to fully ferment a wide range of honey varieties, this yeast produces a crisp, well-attenuated mead that highlights the natural honey character without overwhelming sweetness. It’s a favorite for traditional meads, melomels (fruit meads), and metheglins (spiced meads), giving you the flexibility to craft balanced and highly drinkable results.

Boost Your Mead Fermentation
Since honey lacks natural nutrients, we recommend pairing Wyeast 4632 with Wyeast Yeast Nutrient to support yeast health and promote complete fermentation. This helps prevent stalled ferments and improves attenuation for consistent results.
Handling & Shipping Recommendations
All liquid yeast is stored in 24/7 temperature-monitored refrigeration to preserve peak quality. For shipping, we strongly recommend adding an ice pack and insulated envelope to help protect your yeast from temperature swings during transit. Ice packs may arrive melted, but they reduce temperature spikes that can affect yeast health.
