Dried Brewing yeast is produced in dedicated, state of the art propagation facilities and then carefully dried to preserve its characteristics. True lager yeast are available from recognised European sources enablng batch production of high quality lagers. A range of speciality ale yeast have also been developed to produce ales with authentic flavour profiles. 

As the craft and home brewing industry develops, the demand for consistant high quality brewing yeast becomes even more important.

Today some of the highest quality brewing yeasts are supplied by Fermentes (Lesaffre Group) and Danstar (Lallemand Group). The goal was to supply pure strain brewing yeast varieties in a dry, ready to pitch form. Dried yeast offers a long shelf life giving advantages in both distribution, cost and storage.
