Omega Yeast OYL-403 Lunar Crush® Lager Yeast

Lunar Crush Lager is the latest patent-pending strain in Omega’s Thiolized™ series. Lunar Crush biotransforms thiol precursors from malt, hops, and grape-derived products for a new wave of passion fruit, guava, and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc fruitiness. This isn’t your typical lager yeast—Lunar Crush is the perfect companion for complex, hop-forward styles or even creating something entirely new by simplifying your recipe for the boldest thiol expression.

• Temp Range: 50-65°F

Available only in the US, while we would love to make these strains available internationally, many countries’ regulations do not yet allow the sale of organisms developed using modern gene-editing, regardless of the type of modification introduced by the technique.
