The key reason why breweries choose LAX yeast is its ability to accentuate the hop character in a beer. This yeast strain is known for its remarkable ability to showcase the aromatic qualities of hops, allowing the true essence of the chosen hop varieties to shine through by providing a clean base.
The clean fermentation profile of LAX yeast ensures that the delicate hop flavours are not overshadowed by yeast-derived esters, resulting in a beer with a crisp and pronounced hop presence. Another notable advantage of using LAX yeast is its high ABV tolerance rates and robust fermentation. LAX yeast is an indispensable tool in a brewer's arsenal. Its clean and neutral flavour profile, ability to accentuate hop character and high attenuation rate make it an ideal choice for breweries of all sizes and expertise levels.
Whether you are brewing a classic American Pale Ale, a hop-forward IPA, high gravity brew or a stout, LAX yeast delivers consistent and exceptional results.
