LalBrew Verdant IPA – Ale Yeast

LalBrew Verdant IPA was specially selected in collaboration with Verdant Brewing Co. (UK) for its ability to produce a variety of hop-forward and malty beers. Prominent notes of apricot and undertones of tropical fruit and citrus merge seamlessly with hop aromas. With medium-high attenuation, LalBrew Verdant IPA leaves a soft and balanced malt profile with slightly more body than a typical American IPA yeast strain. This highly versatile strain is well suited for a variety of beer styles including NEIPA, English IPA, American Pale, English Bitter, Sweet Stout and Sours.

PITCHING

Rehydration and direct pitching of dry yeast into wort are both acceptable methods for inoculating fermentation.

Rehydration of Lallemand Brewing yeast in sterile water prior to pitching into wort has been shown to reduce stress on the cell as it transitions from dry to liquid form. However, for most fermentations, this stress is not significant enough to affect fermentation performance and flavor, so good results will also be achieved when direct pitching dry yeast into wort. Use of a rehydration nutrient has been shown to improve performance for difficult fermentations. Measure the yeast by weight within the recommended pitch rate range. Pitch rate calculators optimized for liquid yeast may result in significant overpitching. For assistance with pitching rates, see the Pitch Rate Calculator optimized for LalBrew Premium dry yeast strains.
