LalBrew NovaLager™ is a true bottom-fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid (non-GMO), selected to produce clean lager-style beers with the optimal fermentation performance of ale yeast.
LalBrew NovaLager™:
- Produces lager styles at higher fermentation temperatures, lower pitch rates, and faster fermentation times than traditional lagers,
- Produces a clean, unique lager profile with high attenuation and medium flocculation.
- Is low VDK/diacetyl and will not produce hydrogen sulfide (H2S), leading to reduced maturation times associated with Lager beer production.
In Lallemand’s Standard Conditions Wort at 12°C (53.6°F) LalBrew NovaLager™ yeast exhibits: Vigorous fermentation that can be completed in 6 days.
High Attenuation and Medium Flocculation.
Aroma and flavor are clean with low to medium ester, no sulfur. This strain is POF negative.
The optimal temperature range for LalBrew NovaLager™ yeast when producing traditional styles is 10 – 20°C (50 – 68°F).
Lag phase, total fermentation time, attenuation and flavor are dependent on pitch rate, yeast handling, fermentation temperature and nutritional quality of the wort.
