Omega Yeast Labs
« on: March 10, 2015, 06:08:45 pm »
I picked up a Omega Yeast Labs liquid yeast for a IPA I brewed this past weekend. It's the first time I've heard of them.  Anyone know anything about them?  Mine was the West Coast Ale style.

Omega is here in Chicago and I know several local breweries that are using their yeast.  I always get extremely fresh packs, and have been happy with their Conan strain.  I'm currently playing around with the lacto blend.  I think you've got the Chico strain there for your IPA if it's West Coast Ale I.

They have some proprietary strains.  I've used the Saisonstein Monster which is a cross of the Dupont strain (Wyeast 3724) with Wyeast 3711.  I think the jury is still out on the Saisonstein.

I used it one of there strains once. Kinda weird with no nutrient pack like wyeast.
