DistilaMax TQ Dry Ale Yeast Brick (500 g)

DistilaMax TQ is a tough, fructophilic yeast strain selected for its ability to drive glucose and fructose fermentations even when the medium is stressful or inhibitory. It carries the K2 killer factor, which gives it a natural advantage against wild yeasts and supports cleaner, better-controlled fermentations. With a very short lag phase, a wide pH window from 3.5 to 5.2, and solid heat tolerance, it establishes dominance quickly and helps keep undesirable microorganisms in check across hygienic, demanding production conditions.

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.
