WLP099 Super High Gravity Ale Yeast - Pure Pitch Next Generation

From England, this yeast can ferment up to 25% alcohol when used correctly. It produces ester characters that increase with increasing gravity. Malt character dominates at lower gravities. To achieve >25% ABV, sugar needs to be fed over the course of the fermentation.

We highly recommend a Dry Ice Pack or two for your yeasts voyage OR for a short stay in our pick up lockers in the warmer months of the year
Please choose Australia Post Express if you want to reduce the the risk of transit time delay and its affect on your yeast.

**This strain has been genetically typed in our lab using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Through this genetic testing, we have determined WLP099 Super High Gravity Ale Yeast to contain the STA1 gene (glucoamylase), a potential indicator of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus. Brewers yeast are natural hybrids, which make it possible for certain strains to display elements of the STA1 gene. These strains have the ability to utilize some dextrins (unfermentable sugars), resulting in higher levels of attenuation than what is considered typical.

White Labs does everything possible to detect for undesired organisms within our process and cultures. The strains they carry with known Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus genetics have been researched and validated to perform without excessive over-attenuating, which is possible through our nearly 25 years of experience paired with internal and external fermentation data.** 

PurePitch Next Generation WLP099 provides homebrewers and small scale brewers a convenient and modular package to pitch a consistent commercially recommended pitching rate for standard ale ranges of 7.5 million cells/mL per 20L.

Now At 2X The Pitch

PurePitch Next Generation represents double the pitching rate of the normal WLP099 homebrew sachets and ensures a foolproof fermentation without the need for a starter. The commercial recommended pitching rate allows you to pitch like the pros!

Easy To Use

Just twist the cap & pitch!

This strain was the first yeast strain produced by White Labs in 1995. It’s our best-selling yeast, famous for its clean flavors and hardy fermentations. Known for its use in hoppy beers, it accentuates hop flavors and aromas and attenuates well, even for high gravity beers. This strain has the ability to be used in almost any style of ale ranging from IPA to porter and even kölsch, which makes it a great all-around house strain.
