Introducing LalBrew NovaLager™ - the perfect yeast strain for producing clean, crisp lager beers with distinct flavor characteristics. This true bottom-fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid has been carefully selected to deliver superior fermentation performance and a unique flavor profile.
With its low VDK/diacetyl production and patented technology from the University of California Davis, LalBrew NovaLager™ ensures that your lager beer will not have any off-flavors associated with hydrogen sulfide (H2S), allowing for a reduced maturation time.
Under Lallemand's standard conditions wort at 12°C (53.6°F), this strain exhibits vigorous fermentation that can be completed in just six days, with high attenuation and high flocculation. The aroma and flavor are clean with low to medium ester and no sulfur. Plus, this strain is POF negative.
For traditional styles, LalBrew NovaLager™ yeast thrives in an optimal temperature range of 10-20°C (50-68°F). However, the lag phase, total fermentation time, attenuation, and flavor are all influenced by pitch rate, yeast handling, fermentation temperature, and nutritional quality of the wort.
When fermented at higher temperatures, LalBrew NovaLager™ yeast produces clean, low to medium-ester flavors and aromas with no sulfur. Elevate your lager brewing game with LalBrew NovaLager™ - the perfect yeast strain for producing clean, crisp, and flavorful lager beers.
