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 preserve freshness and viability. For best results when ordering online, we recommend adding an ice pack to your order.
Note: Ice packs are designed to reduce temperature shock during transit—they may arrive melted, which is perfectly normal. If you’re new to shipping yeast, this step helps protect your yeast through short shipping durations.
