Our Commitment to Yeast Health
At SoCal Brewing Supply, we store all liquid yeast cold and monitor storage temperatures 24/7 to preserve viability. Freshness and quality are always our top priorities.
We recommend adding an ice pack and insulated envelope to your shipment to help maintain stability during transit. Melted ice packs are normal and still serve their purpose of buffering temperature spikes.
