Escarpment Labs Hydra Hybrid Yeast
Introducing Hydra, a revolutionary new yeast from Escarpment Labs specifically crafted for hazy IPAs. This innovative strain combines the genetics of two popular stains, Cerberus and Vermont, resulting in a unique hybrid. Hydra offers a lower attenuation range of 65-72%, delivering a juicier flavor with powerful citrus and mango aromatics. Its ability to counteract the high attenuation caused by hop creep ensures a balanced and satisfying hazy IPA. Whether it's a session or a Double IPA, Hydra is the perfect yeast for crafting hazy, hoppy beers.
Please note: For optimal fermentation performance, we recommend oxygenating the wort with at least 10 PPM when using this strain.
