Description
Lalbrew NovaLager yeast
LalBrew NovaLager is a true bottom-fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid. This yeast has been selected to produce clean lager beers with distinct flavour characteristics and superior fermentation performance.
NovaLager is a robust lager strain with ideal characteristics for lager beer production including fast fermentations and high attenuation. The distinct flavour profile is very clean, slight esters over a wide temperature range.
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.
