WLP618 White Labs Pure Pitch NA All Day

Description

This strain of non-conventional/ NA brewing yeast, Saccharomycodes ludwigii, has been found to be useful when brewing a low alcohol/non-alcoholic beer. This specific strain has been chosen because of its lower ethyl acetate production compared to similar strains. This species is maltose negative as it does not ferment maltose or other larger sugars and will only ferment the glucose, sucrose, and fructose.

This strain is appropriate for all styles of low alcohol/non-alcoholic beer. Although this would be categorized as a wild yeast, this strain would not typically be considered a beer spoiler as it does not have the ability to ferment larger sugars. Using this strain to create a low alcohol/NA beer requires a modified recipe.
