DistilaMax MW Dry Ale Yeast Brick (500 g)

DistilaMax MW is a brewing yeast strain selected to ferment the full sugar profile of malted barley, including maltose and maltotriose, with a strong tolerance to alcohol levels up to 15%. It is a natural fit for Scotch-style malt whisky, delivering a refined, layered congener profile with pronounced fruity character. Reliable kinetics and steady performance across a variety of malt-based worts make it a dependable choice for producers focused on consistency, expressive new-make spirit, and strong maturation potential.

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.
