LALBREW® NOVALAGER MODERN HYBRID LAGER YEAST 500g BLOCK

Description

LalBrew NovaLager™ is a true bottom fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid from a novel lineage that has been selected to produce clean lager beer styles with distinct flavor characteristics and superior fermentation performance. It is a robust lager yeast strain with ideal brewing properties, including fast fermentations, high attenuation, and high flocculation. The distinct flavor profile is very clean, with slight esters over a wide temperature range.

LalBrew NovaLager™ is the result of the research and development work of Renaissance Bioscience Corp. (Vancouver BC, Canada) in partnership with Lallemand Brewing. It 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 (Renaissance) lager lineage, different 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) to ensure that the strain will not produce hydrogen sulfide (H2S) off-flavors, therefore reducing the maturation time associated with lager beer production.

Through expression of a β-glucosidase enzyme, LalBrew NovaLager™ can promote hop biotransformation and accentuate hop flavor and aroma. All these above characteristics make LalBrew NovaLager™, a new and unique tool especially adapted to craft brewing conditions

Framed within the Lalbrew Premium Hybrid yeast product line, LalBrew NovaLager™ is a highly anticipated addition to our portfolio of solutions for production of Lager beer styles (in addition to LalBrew Diamond™).
