“Chico” at its best form. This workhorse utilizes DKO™ and Lumina™ Technologies, which gives you clean, crystal-clear beer without lingering diacetyl or haze. The yeast is well attenuative and moderately flocculating, with crisp, citrus notes when fermented under 66°F (19°C).
Diacetyl Knock Out
The DKO series strains prevent the formation of diacetyl while maintaining the identical fermentation behaviors and flavor expressions of their parental strains. The benefit of ALDC-expressing yeast is that the pathway for diacetyl formation is stopped at the source resulting in virtually no diacetyl production throughout fermentation. When these strains are put to use, the diacetyl levels never reach sensory thresholds. Even when using the most sensitive GC-ECD methods, they stay at the lower limits of detection, giving you peace of mind.
Benefits:
-
Avoid diacetyl hangups with hop creep
-
Boost quality and keep tanks turning quickly
-
Diacetyl so low, it's undetectable
-
Lumina™ bioengineered technology develops translucent beer while maintaining parental strain behavior

Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.
