LALBREW NOVALAGER™

LalBrew NovaLager™ is a true bottom-fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid from the novel Group III lineage that has been selected to produce clean lager beers with distinct flavour profiles and superior fermentation performance. LalBrew NovaLager™ is a robust lager strain with ideal characteristics for lager beer production, including rapid fermentations, high attenuation. The distinct flavour profile is very clean, low esters across a wide temperature range. This product is the result of research and development work from Renaissance Bioscience Corp. (Vancouver BC, Canada) in collaboration with Lallemand Brewing. LalBrew NovaLager™ was selected using classical and non-GMO breeding methods to achieve a novel Saccharomyces cerevisiae x Saccharomyces eubayanus hybrid strain that defines a new Group III (Renaissance) lager lineage distinct from all other traditional Saccharomyces pastorianus strains. This strain is a low VDK/diacetyl producer and utilizes patented technology from the University of California Davis (USA) that inhibits the production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) off-flavours, and therefore reduces the maturation time associated with lager beer production.

Advantages: short fermentation time, pitch rate like ales, higher fermentation temperature and faster fermentation.
