FAQ
-
The Lacto Blend (OYL-605) is very hop sensitive (even 0.5 IBU can inhibit souring). Be sure you’re using only unhopped wort! Our Lacto Blend works best in the 90 – 95ºF degree range and thus should be kept under 100ºF degrees to avoid stalling.
-
Has the temperature increased to over 100ºF? Drop the temperature back down to under 95ºF degrees and it will generally take off again.

We custom prop so you have the freshest, healthiest, most viable yeast and most accurate counts. Lead time is usually about seven (7) days. That means if you place an order on a Monday, we’ll ship your yeast out the following Monday for receipt Tuesday. Note: when demand is high, lead times can occasionally increase slightly, so giving us as much of a heads up as you have is always appreciated. Lacto is often available without lead time. Contact us at orders@omegayeast.com.

Because the nature of Brett strains are quite different from Sacch strains, we generally recommend pitching Bretts at 500k cells per mL for a secondary fermentation.
