Our Commitment to Yeast Health
At SoCal Brewing Supply, we store all yeast under monitored refrigeration to ensure peak viability and freshness. Our cold-chain protocol helps protect sensitive strains like WLP780 from temperature spikes and transit-related stress.
We recommend selecting an ice pack and insulated envelope at checkout for liquid yeast shipments. Melted packs are expected and help reduce thermal shock during delivery.
