Handling & Shipping Recommendations
All liquid yeast at SoCal Brewing Supply is kept in temperature-controlled refrigeration with 24/7 monitoring. To protect your yeast during shipping, we recommend adding an ice pack and insulated envelope. While ice packs may arrive melted, they reduce temperature spikes that can stress yeast in transit.
