All strains normally in-stock & ready to ship!

All strains in 175ml ACTIVATOR packs!
(except some special bacteria cultures on this page, see product details)

175ml Ready-To-Pitch "ACTIVATOR" packs:  These contains 100 billion active yeast cells - the highest in the industry!  Better than tube-style yeast - because unlike tubes, the yeast cells are already active when you pitch them. 

These cultures can be used without prior preparation, and they have a refrigerated shelf life of at least 6 months.  Simply "slap" the pack to activate it whenever you decide to start brewing, and it'll be active by the time you're ready to use it.

ICEPACKS:  Icepacks keep yeast cool for a little while longer.  Your icepack will probably be warm by the time it arrives.  We can't add too much insulation, or else the icepack would freeze the yeast - killing it.  If you add multiple $1.00 icepacks, we may substitute one or more "jumbo" icepacks for the same price.

Item #4007
Wyeast 4007 Malo Lactic (120 ml)

Not necessary for Vintner's Reserve or Selection Winemaking Kits.

Malo-lactic Culture packages contain a live liquid suspension of Oenococcus oenii grown in a sterile organic juice based nutrient medium. Malic acid reduction will balance and soften wine while enhancing flavor and aroma characteristics including vanilla and buttery notes. 4007 Blend (blend of ER1A and EY2d cultures) will provide rapid and complete malic acid reduction in wine over a broad spectrum of conditions. ER1A, an excellent choice for red wines, has been isolated for it’s tolerance to low pH coditions. Ey2D has been selected for it tolerance to low cellar temperatures. Malo-lactic conversion is generally completed within 1-3 months.

The Malo-lactic Culture packages contain 125 ml of slurry. This provides the inoculation rate recommended by and for professional vintners for 5 gallons of wine. These cultures will convert malic acid to lactic acid over a broad temperature range (55-90°F). The Malo-lactic cultures will also perform over a broad spectrum of pH conditions. Inoculate wine that has completed or nearly completed alcoholic fermentation. Free SO2 levels should be less than 15 ppm.
