The Story
LalBrew NovaLager yeast is a true lager strain originating in Germany. Chosen for its robust character, LalBrew NovaLager yeast delivers excellent fermentation performance and has the ability to produce clean, authentic lagers.
LalBrew NovaLagerâ„¢ is a true bottom-fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid from the novel Group III lineage that has been selected to produce clean lager beers with distinct flavor characteristics and superior fermentation performance. LalBrew NovaLagerâ„¢ is a robust lager strain with ideal characteristics for lager beer production including fast fermentations, high attenuation.
The distinct flavor profile is very clean, slight esters over a wide temperature range. This product is the result of the research and development work of Renaissance Bioscience Corp. (Vancouver BC, Canada) in partnership with Lallemand Brewing. LalBrew NovaLagerâ„¢ was selected using classical and non-GMO breeding methods to obtain a novel Saccharomyces cerevisiae x Saccharomyces eubayanus hybrid strain that defines a novel Group III (Renaissance) lager lineage that is distinct from any other traditional Saccharomyces pastorianus strains.
This strain is a low VDK/diacetyl producer and utilizes patented technology from the University of California Davis (USA) that inhibits the production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) off-flavors, therefore reducing the maturation time associated with lager beer production.

Microbiological Properties
Classified as Saccharomyces pastorianus, a bottom-fermenting yeast. Typical Analysis of LalBrew NovaLagerâ„¢ yeast:
Percent solids 93% – 97%
Viability ≥ 5 x 109 CFU per gram of dry yeast
Wild Yeast < 1 per 106 yeast cells
Diastaticus Negative
Bacteria < 1 per 106 yeast cells
Finished product is released to the market only after passing a rigorous series of tests
*See specifications sheet for details
Brewing Properties
In Lallemand’s Standard Conditions Wort at 12°C (53.6°F) LalBrew NovaLager™ yeast exhibits: Vigorous fermentation that can be completed in 6 days.
High Attenuation and Medium Flocculation.
Aroma and flavor are clean with low to medium ester, no sulfur. This strain is POF negative.
The optimal temperature range for LalBrew NovaLager™ yeast when producing traditional styles is 10 – 20°C (50 – 68°F).
Lag phase, total fermentation time, attenuation and flavor are dependent on pitch rate, yeast handling, fermentation temperature and nutritional quality of the wort.
