Liquid yeasts are guaranteed for 6 months from production dates.  Although we attempt to stock every style, it would be impossible to guarantee its freshness.  We do however offer a special order service for all liquid yeasts we do not stock.  We order directly from the manufacturers of Escarpment, Wyeast and White Labs every 5/7 weeks (on hand inventory dependent) to guarantee freshness and   We send out a notice 1 week prior to ordering to everyone who wishes to receive the notice and ask they submit their order by the pre-determined order deadline.  If you're interested in being on the Special Order Liquid Yeast, send an email to customerservice@defalcowines.com and in the subject line put "Liquid Yeast Special Orders".

Some items are seasonal and limited releases that fall under "Special Order"...you can check each manufacturers website to see what is available in their inventory....Escarpment Labs, Wyeast Labs, White Labs.

For the protection of all of our customers, we cannot accept returns on any of the products listed in the Yeast category.  We ask that you make an informed decision, read all descriptions and contact us should we need to provide more information on the particular product that interests you.

Products


  • Escarpment Krispy

    Escarpment Krispy

    Lickety-split (pseudo) lagers. Makes very clean lager-like beers at ale temps.
    KRISPY can be used to make clean, lager-like beers in a fraction of the time since fermentations can be performed at ale temperatures.
    CA$14.99
     
  • Escarpment Kveik Ring:Kolnasata

    Escarpment Kveik Ring:Kolnasata

    Kolnasāta is sourced from a traditional Latvian brewer named Dainis Rakstiņš from the Bērzpils area. Despite the name, it is neither a Kolsch strain nor a Pils strain ;-) Kolnasāta offers up ample doses of pineapple esters along with medium attenuation and flocculation. It is POF- (non-phenolic) which means it can be used in a wide range of beers. The traditional beer it ferments is made by heating the mash using hot stones!


    Some resources on Latvian farmhouse brewing:

    Stone brewing in Latvia
    Farmhouse Ales of Europe
    Gallery of brewing on the Kolnasata farm

    Notes:
    - This is not a kveik yeast but rather a continental European farmhouse strain.
    - We obtained permission to offer this strain from the brewer, who requested that anyone selling the yeast call it by the name Kolnasāta.
    - We have performed whole genome sequencing of this strain. Genetically, it is part of a group of other Continential European Farmhouse Ale strains and is different from kveik. More on that to come!
    - This strain is STA1- but shows growth on LCSM Agar indicating it is resistant to copper sulfate.

  • Escarpment Laerdal Kveik

    Escarpment Laerdal Kveik

    This single-strain isolate from the Lærdal Kveik (sourced from Dagfinn Wendelbo) ferments fast (like most kveik), flocculates well, and adds pineapple and orchard fruit aroma to beer. Ferments fast and is suited to hazy IPAs or English ales.
    CA$14.99

  • Escarpment Mexican Lager

    Escarpment Mexican Lager

    A reliable North American lager strain that produces clean and crisp beers.
    We think Mexi is one of the best lager strains for Light American Lagers and many other clean lager styles.

  • Escarpment MotherShip Brett Blend

    Escarpment MotherShip Brett Blend

    An out-of-this-world blend of our favourite Brett yeast strains!

  • Escarpment Mud King

    Escarpment Mud King

    Starting as a yeast blend based on captured wild isolates by Milk the Funk homebrewers around the U.S., Mud King is a blend of over 30 different wild isolates including a few captures from natural wines and French ciders developed in-part by DeWayne Schaaf.

    Recommended for Secondary Fermentation: Ferment in primary until 70% attenuation, then add Mud King. Allow to age for 6-10 months at 65-75°F. Under these conditions, expect acidity to be more moderate, strong pear notes, with Brett pushing an overripe tropical fruit note.
    CA$14.99

  • Escarpment New World Saison

    Escarpment New World Saison

    A new world Saison blend containing Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces to produce a fruity, funky beer with rustic charm.

  • Escarpment Northwest Ale

    Escarpment Northwest Ale

    This squeaky-clean strain hails from the Pacific Northwest. Smooths hop bitterness in comparison to some of the other American strains. This makes Northwest Ale highly suited to darker or balanced ales such as American Stout or Porter.
    CA$14.99
     

    OUT OF STOCK

  • Escarpment Old World Saison

    Escarpment Old World Saison

    A winner for making Saisons and other farmhouse ales.
    Balanced fruit and peppery spice with an ultra-dry finish. Fast attenuation down to very low final gravity.
    CA$14.99
     
  • Escarpment Premium Pilsner

    Escarpment Premium Pilsner

    A balanced and mild Czech-origin lager yeast that we love for its fast fermentation rate.
    In fact, it's one of our fastest-fermenting lager strains. Not limited to Czech styles, Premium Pils can be used in any lager style. Produces dry and full mouthfeel.
    CA$14.99
     

    OUT OF STOCK

  • Escarpment Saison Maison

    Escarpment Saison Maison

    Non-diastatic saison yeast, for brewers who don't want to worry about diastaticus.
    This yeast has a fruity Saison flavour profile without the STA1 enzyme. Amyloglucosidase enzyme is recommended to ensure an ultra-dry beer. Alternatively, we suggest a long mash at low temperature (65ºC for 90 minutes) to produce a highly fermentable wort.
    CA$14.99

  • Escarpment Scoby (Kombucha Starter)

    Escarpment Scoby (Kombucha Starter)

    You can make delicious kombucha at home, but first you need a great kombucha SCOBY.

    We have you covered. Our SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast) is grown in the perfect scientific environment and packed with healthy bacteria and yeast to ferment your kombucha quickly (two weeks or less). Plus, our culture comes with easy-to-follow instructions that will have you brewing up delicious batches of kombucha in no time!

    Once established, your SCOBY (a.k.a. kombucha mother) can be reused many times like a sourdough starter. Are you ready to experiment with wild flavours and fresh ingredients?
