Capri Yeast | Imperial Yeast I22

Elevate Your IPAs with Juicy, Tropical Flavors

Imperial Yeast I22 Capri is an experimental Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, created through hybridization of two popular parent strains: A38 Juice and A43 Loki. This innovative yeast delivers juicy ester aromatics, tropical flavors, and bright citrus notes, making it ideal for hop-forward beer styles. Capri tends to remain in suspension during fermentation, forming a tight yeast cone once settled, and performs exceptionally well with dry-hop additions just before the end of active fermentation.

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 envelope to ensure your yeast arrives in top condition. 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.
