Wyeast Liquid Yeast - Regular Strains

Wyeast Premium Strains - Direct Pitch Activator�

FREE Freezer Pack! We include a Freezer Pack with every yeast order at no cost to you so that your yeast arrives in optimum brew ready condition.

Activator� packages are designed for direct inoculation of 5 gallons of standard* wort. Activator� packages contain live yeast cells in a liquid slurry. This yeast slurry is packaged in an optimum condition for storage, while maintaining the ability for rapid and complete fermentation.

Activator� packages include a sterile liquid nutrient pouch that, when �smacked�, releases its contents into the yeast slurry and �activates� the package. The available nutrients initiate the culture�s metabolism which in turn generates CO2 and causes swelling of the package. This process will reduce lag times by preparing the yeast for a healthy fermentation prior to inoculation. Activation also serves as a viability test of the culture. Expansion of the package is an indicator of healthy (viable and vital) yeast. Although beneficial, cultures do not need to be activated prior to inoculation.
