Yeast cultures supplied by Brewlab are held on agar slopes to preserve their viability and consistency. They are stable for up to 6 months if kept in a refrigerator below 4C. Don’t freeze as this will spoil their viability.

Little equipment is required to prepare a yeast slope, a glass jar is sufficient. Remember, never grow yeast in a sealed vessel as the CO2 produced will cause a pressure build up. Check out our yeast slope preparation bundle here

Yeast Slope Instructions

Single character.  Standard bitter production.  Rapid fermentation speed.  High mineral worts preferred.  Moderate to strong ester and moderate to strong sulphur ability.  High flocculation.

This Kent ale yeast has rapid fermentation abilities, prefers a high mineral wort and can produce a sulphur flavoured beer.  Moderate to high ester flavours may develop. Light phenolic flavours may be produced.   It flocculates well producing a good head initially but cells sediment slowly at the end of fermentation.
