Brew Bright. Finish Crisp. Kanpai!
Imperial Yeast's Newsest yeast, L55 Kanpai is a special seasonal release from Imperial Yeast, crafted for brewers aiming to replicate the clean, crisp profile of authentic Japanese-style lagers. With its very high flocculation, smooth fermentation character, and ability to finish dry and brilliantly clear, Kanpai is ideal for rice-forward lagers and other light-bodied, ultra-drinkable beer styles.
As a lager strain with a fermentation range between 50-58°F (10:14°C), Kanpai delivers a refined and delicate profile that lets your ingredients shine. While designed for Japanese-style lagers, this versatile yeast can be used in other pale lager applications where clarity, crispness, and balance are key.
Because it's a seasonal release, L55 Kanpai is available for a limited time and sells out fast. When in stock, it's highly recommended to purchase immediately, this strain will not be available again until the following year.
