Tropical IPA Yeast | Omega Yeast OYL-200
Enhance Fruity Aromas in Your Hazy and Juicy IPAs
Omega Yeast OYL-200 Tropical IPA is a unique Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain specially selected to bring out huge tropical fruit character in hop-forward beers. Derived from an English ale lineage, this yeast complements modern IPA hop varieties like Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy by enhancing thiol expression and boosting the perception of mango, pineapple, and passionfruit.
It produces medium-to-low flocculation, allowing some haze to remain in suspension—perfect for hazy IPAs and juicy NEIPAs. Expect a soft mouthfeel, expressive aromatics, and a smooth, balanced fermentation profile that finishes moderately dry with low sulfur and minimal phenols.

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 mailer to ensure your yeast arrives in top condition. It’s normal for ice packs to melt during transit—their role is to buffer against extreme heat, not to keep the yeast cold for the entire journey.
Enhance Fermentation with Yeast Nutrients
To boost vitality and ensure robust fermentation, pair this strain with Wyeast Beer Nutrient. Nutrients help reduce lag time, increase cell growth, and promote cleaner fermentation outcomes.
