Our Yeast Handling Commitment
At SoCal Brewing Supply, we prioritize yeast quality by maintaining cold-chain storage and 24-hour temperature monitoring. We recommend adding an ice pack and insulated envelope when shipping liquid yeast to reduce heat exposure. Melted ice packs are normal—they act as thermal buffers to protect your yeast during transit.
