BSY Strain of the Month | July

Stuttgart

With winter still upon us, it’s a great time to get a lager or two down before the weather warms up. If you’re looking to brew a classic crisp lager, our Stuttgart strain is a good choice. That said, winter here in Australia is often not as cold as winter in Europe where brewing with lager yeast originated.

Fortunately, our Stuttgart strain can happily ferment at temperatures up to 18ºC. This allows creative home brewers a chance to experiment with ‘warm lagering’ to create an interesting fusion of lager and ale characteristics.

If you’d like to get hold of a 120ml home-brew pack and put our Stuttgart strain to work in your next brew, you’ll find all that you need to know on our stockists page.

The Role of Zinc in Brewing: A Key to Yeast Health and Beer Quality

Since much of the zinc in wort is lost during the boil, brewers often face sluggish fermentations and unwanted off-flavors. Our Sterile Liquid Zinc Booster is designed for cold-side application, ensuring your yeast gets the nutrients it needs when it matters most.
