Omega Yeast Labs Bananza Ale (OYL-400)

Ripe banana esters (with a hint of pear) make this new, Omega Yeast-original strain a standout for pastry stouts, milkshake IPAs and other modern ales. Pitch at 68°F (20°C) and let free rise to 72-76°F (21-23°C) for prime banana flavor. Unlike the Hefeweizen strain from which it is derived, Bananza is versatile because it is non-phenolic and therefore incapable of producing clove flavors that would mask its pure banana profile. Each Omega Yeast package contains the optimal amount of yeast needed to ferment 5 gallons of 1.060 OG wort. Certain strains may contain up to 500 billion cells per pack, while others may contain slightly less than 150 billion cells per pack.
