Used by one of the most popular beers from Mexico, this strain produces clean lager beer, with a crisp refreshing finish. Good for Mexican style light lagers, dark lagers, and other tropical styles traditionally fermented with lager strains. A versatile lager yeast and a strong fermenter.
Not sure what happened. Might have been too warm in packaging during shipment but yeast was dead and failed to ferment wort. I think ill stick with wyeast and white labs instead.
We're sorry to hear of the trouble with the yeast! I'd have to think this is due to the heat during transit than an issue with quality of the yeast, though. Omega makes excellent yeast products, we've had great luck with them! We'll refund the cost of this yeast for you, though, as you had trouble with it. We highly encourage making yeast starters from liquid yeasts, as it builds up the cell counts and it also acts as a viability test, so you'd know prior to brewing that the yeast is up to the task!

1st attempt at making a "cerveza"
Made a 1 liter yeast starter, 3 days prior to brew day. Pitched after oxygenating, at 52 degrees. Fermenting container bubbling away after 3 hours. Fermentation complete after 15 days at 45-50 degrees, dropping my O.G. from 1.057 to 1.002.
Two more weeks at 35 degrees then I get to sample my work.
Appears to do it's job, taste will tell how clean it is.
