DistilaMax AG Dry Ale Yeast Brick (500 g)

DistilaMax AG is a yeast strain originally isolated in Mexico from blue agave (Agave tequilana) juice under authentic Tequila production conditions. Built for agave-based fermentations, it is fructophilic and very robust, kicking off quickly with a short lag phase and converting fermentable sugars cleanly across a wide temperature range. Distillers can expect low residual sugars, high ethanol yield, and a complex, balanced bouquet of floral, herbal, fruity, and citrus notes that defines premium Tequila and other agave spirits.

These yeast bricks are for brewing large batches at one time, or pinching off quantities for smaller volumes of brew. Once opened if you are not using the entire brick it should be placed in a bag, vacuum sealed and returned to a cool, dry, storage area below 15°C, where it remains stable for up to 36 months. Doing this will help to preserve the yeasts fermenting ability and reduce the risk of contamination of the remaining yeast.
