CellarScience – NECTAR Specialty Ale Yeast x 12g

Like all CellarScience yeast, NECTAR is eligible for direct pitch straight into your wort. CellarScience provides 12g of yeast per sachet, which is up to 9% more than any other brand of dry yeast. Every batch of yeast is PCR tested to ensure quality. NECTAR has been selling to pro breweries for awhile but was just recently packaged down to sachets for homebrewers.

Dosage:
One sachet is enough to treat a single 19-23L batch. When calculating for larger batches, use at a rate of 0.5-0.8g per Liter. We recommend rounding up by one full sachet rather than measuring out the yeast exactly.
[50-80g per 100L]

Direct Pitch or Rehydrate:
NECTAR yeast is designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no oxygenation required in the initial fermentation. Our aerobic growth process makes this possible by creating dry yeast with high viability and high sterol levels. NECTAR yeast is pre-loaded with essential nutrients to ensure a successful, complete fermentation. While not required, some brewers prefer to rehydrate yeast. To hydrate yeast, first, sanitize the yeast brick and scissors. Use 10 grams of sterilized tap water between 29-35°C mixed with 0.25 grams of FermStart per gram of yeast. Sprinkle yeast on the water. Allow the slurry to stand undisturbed for 20 minutes, then swirl. Use small amounts of wort to adjust to within 6°C of wort temperature before pitching. Ferment between 18-22°C.
