LalBrew® BRY-97 Yeast 11 g | American West Coast Ale

Ideal Yeast for Clean and Crisp American Ales

LalBrew® BRY-97 is an American West Coast-style ale yeast selected from the Siebel Institute Culture Collection for its ability to produce clean fermentations, resulting in high-quality ales. This neutral and highly attenuating strain offers high flocculation, making it versatile for a wide range of American-style beers. It expresses a β-glucosidase enzyme, promoting hop biotransformation and enhancing hop flavor and aroma.

This 11g sachet is designed to ferment up to 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort, making it ideal for homebrewers.

Our Commitment to Yeast Health

At SoCal Brewing Supply, we take yeast storage and viability very seriously (Yes, even Dry yeasts). 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 Dry yeast shipments, we offer ice packs and insulated envelopes as an optional add-on for customers looking for extra protection during hotter months. It’s normal for ice packs to melt during transit; their purpose is to protect the yeast from extreme temperatures caused by external weather conditions.
