LalBrew® NovaLager™
Lallemand Brewing offers a range of yeast for beer brewing, including yeast for ale, kveik, lager, and sour beers. Every batch of Lallemand Brewing yeast adheres to the highest quality standards that guarantee predictable performance for the best brewing performance possible. This starts with carefully managed yeast and bacteria cultures from our own culture collection through customer-oriented logistics. Strict quality control is implemented at every stage. Lallemand Brewing has a series of 24 testing steps. For instance, beer fermentations in our standard wort are done with samples of every production to monitor lag phase and overall fermentation time as well as apparent attenuation to ensure the yeast ferments to its specification. After a short storage period, the bottled beer is tasted by a trained tasting panel. Order today and see for yourself the advantages of our high-quality dried yeast, including stability and long shelf life.
LalBrew NovaLager™ is a true bottom-fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid from the novel Group III lineage that has been selected to produce clean lager beers with distinct flavor characteristics and superior fermentation performance. LalBrew NovaLager™ is a robust lager strain with ideal characteristics for lager beer production including fast fermentations and high attenuation. The distinct flavor profile is very clean, slight esters over a wide temperature range. LalBrew NovaLager™ was selected using classical and non-GMO breeding methods to obtain a novel Saccharomyces cerevisiae x Saccharomyces eubayanus hybrid strain that defines a novel Group III lager lineage that is distinct from any other traditional Saccharomyces pastorianus strains. This strain is a low VDK/diacetyl producer and utilizes patented technology from the University of California Davis (USA) that inhibits the production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) off-flavors, therefore reducing the maturation time associated with lager beer production.
