White Labs Opshaug Kveik Ale Yeast [WLP518]

Introducing PurePitch Next Generation!

Developed from feedback from brewers, PurePitch Next Generation is easier to use, more flexible, and far more reliable!

It combines the ease of a bottle with the innovation of PurePitch, providing a modular pouch with a cap and a consistent cell concentration intended to pitch at 7.5 million cells/ml; a commercially recommended pitching rate to ensure a foolproof fermentation.

Increased Fermentation Speed
As demand for higher pitch rates have been steadily rising, White Labs has optimized the cell count of PurePitch Next Generation to ensure brewers see consistent, clean, and speedy fermentations. The consistent pitch rates help shorten lag times resulting in quicker gravity drops.

Increased Viability
Through process improvements and laboratory analysis, White Labs monitors the glycogen content of the yeast cells to give them more energy when starting a fermentation. PurePitch Next Generation features a breathable proprietary dual-layer film that is designed to allow for a more effective off-gassing that reduces product inflation and delivers higher viability and shelf life of the yeast.

White Labs WLP518 Opshaug Kveik Ale Yeast is a great hop-forward, clean yeast strain that is an excellent choice for any IPA or pale ale. This strain was originally sourced by world traveler and blogger Lars Marius Garshol, who has authored several books on farmhouse ales and historical brewing. Originally it was used in the 1990s to produce several kornøl-style beers. It is a clean fermenting yeast that has a very tolerant temperature range up to 95°F (35°C) while finishing fermentation in three to four days.

Insulated mailers help keep your yeast cool for a bit longer, offering peace of mind during shipping. They can safely hold up to 4 yeast and ice packs. If you're concerned, especially in warmer weather, this is your best option. However, in extreme heat, extended cooling can't be guaranteed.
