Industry Leading Pitch Rates
Our recommendation of 1L/BBL yields a pitch rate of 11 million cells/ml. This pitch rate is higher than any other available in the industry- you'll see shorter lag times, shorter tank residency times, and more consistent fermentations. Healthier yeast yields more re-pitches, higher generations and lower yeast costs.
Are you brewing high gravity beer or looking for a specific flavor or aroma profile? No problem! Imperial is happy to dial in custom quantities based off batch size, starting gravity and desired pitch rate. We're also always happy to chat about propagations, give us call or send us an email today!
Imperial Quality Control
All our yeast is put through industry leading quality control methods that are current and transparent. You can rest assured that Imperial is sending you pure culture, at the cell density you are expecting. Imperial Yeast is happy to provide lot specific COAs upon request. Interested in learning more about our robust quality control program? Send us an email or call today!
Strain Banking and Special Orders
Choice of yeast strain is an excellent way to differentiate your beer. We have dozens of tried-and-true strains in our bank beyond what's listed on our website. These strains are available with a special order of at least 10 liters and lead time is normally 2-3 weeks. If you’d like to bank a private house yeast or bacteria we would be happy to help; for a one time fee we will isolate your strain, genetically I.D. it, and bank it in our cryogenic freezers in two separate locations for your security.
