LalBrew® Verdant IPA Yeast – 11g Sachet

Ideal Yeast for Hop-Forward and Malty Beers

LalBrew® Verdant IPA yeast was specially selected in collaboration with Verdant Brewing Co. (UK) for its ability to produce a variety of hop-forward and malty beers. Prominent notes of apricot and undertones of tropical fruit and citrus merge seamlessly with hop aromas. With medium-high attenuation, this strain leaves a soft and balanced malt profile with slightly more body than a typical American IPA yeast strain. This highly versatile strain is well suited for a variety of beer styles including NEIPA, English IPA, American Pale, English Bitter, Sweet Stout, and Sours. 

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

Key Characteristics:

• Attenuation: 75% – 82%
• Flocculation: Medium
• Alcohol Tolerance: Up to 12% ABV
• Fermentation Temperature Range: 18°C – 23°C (64°F – 73°F)
• Aroma and Flavor Profile: Dominated by apricot with notes of tropical fruit and balanced malt character

Perfect for Brewing:

• New England IPA (NEIPA)

Usage Instructions:

• Pitching Rate: 50 – 100 g/hL to achieve a minimum of 2.5 – 5 million viable cells per milliliter
• Rehydration: Rehydrate by sprinkling the yeast on the surface of 10 times its weight in clean, sterilized water at 25°C – 30°C (77°F – 86°F). Leave undisturbed for 15 minutes, then stir to suspend completely. Adjust the temperature to that of the wort and inoculate without delay.

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.
