LalBrew NovaLager Lager Yeast - Lallemand

Great lager demands great yeast, and until recently dry lager yeasts were a compromise. NovaLager changes that. Sourced from a novel Group III Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid lineage, this true bottom-fermenting lager yeast delivers genuine lager quality in an easy-to-use dry format.

Perfect for these beer styles: Czech Pilsner, German Pilsner, American Lager, Munich Helles, Märzen, Festbier, Dortmunder Export, Schwarzbier, Vienna Lager, Bock, Doppelbock, Kölsch-style.

NovaLager produces clean crisp lager beers with the low ester character and complete absence of sulfur that define world-class lager fermentation. The flavor profile is elegant and restrained — pure malt and hop expression in perfect harmony. POF negative means no phenolic notes interfere with the clean lager profile.

Performance is exceptional: at 12°C vigorous fermentation completes in just 6 days with high attenuation and medium flocculation. This means faster tank turnaround compared to many traditional liquid lager strains while maintaining full lager character. The yeast drops out cleanly and completely, requiring minimal filtration.

NovaLager is ideal for craft breweries and homebrewers who want to produce authentic lager styles without the complexity and cost of liquid yeast. Ferment at 10-15°C for traditional lagering character or push slightly warmer for faster production while maintaining clean flavor. A true breakthrough in dry lager yeast technology.
