In the first expansion to our roster of homebrewing supplies, we’re proud to announce that we’re now carrying products from Omega Yeast Labs.

Right now, we have several pouches of their new dried Lutra Kveik on hand. Lutra is an Omega exclusive yeast that’s described as being “clean, crisp, dry, grainy, and ‘lemony dough.’” Since it is a Kveik, it can ferment well at really high temperatures quickly.

Product Notes (Or “Get to know your yeast”)

Storage and Expiration

Since the dried Lutra is…well, dry, it’s shelf-stable and can hang around for up to two years when refrigerated.

What to use it in

Omega says that Lutra has been working well in “pseudo-lagers, West Cost IPAs and American stouts.” I’ve been checking out some of the recipes on Omega’s site, and it looks like Lutra also works well in hard seltzers.

Availability

Lutra is in stock and available for ship-to-home and curbside pickup
