Chris White, CEO of White Labs Inc., shares his insights on the 2025 Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) held in Indianapolis, IN. He discusses Indianapolis' history, what he has seen happen in the craft beer industry since the late 1990s, the importance of quality and cost-effectiveness of reusing yeast, how beer flavor impacts drinkability, and the winners of the World Beer Cup 2025.
We are excited to provide our most popular strains available year-round and ready to ship same-day in all PurePitch® Next Generation package sizes for both White Labs & The Yeast Bay strains. With 100+ more available in our Select and Vault options, it's easy to find the perfect yeast for you.
White Labs Premium Dry Yeast is rigorously tested to ensure exceptional quality and performance, giving brewers the confidence to repitch with ease. With proper yeast management, it can be repitched multiple times, providing a cost-effective and reliable solution for the most consistent brewing results.
We showcased live demonstrations of our FlexPump and FlexBrink technologies, giving you a safer, cleaner, and more effective way to pitch and harvest yeast. Handle your brewing and yeast harvesting days efficiently without expensive equipment or added cleaning.
Zinc Buddy™ stimulates protein synthesis and yeast growth, resulting in the improvement of yeast viability and overall yeast health, allowing for more robust yeast for repitching.
On Sunday, we hosted a yeast seminar at Sun King Brewery with Lallemand & Escarpment Labs, sharing ways to reduce yeast costs effectively and best practices for yeast harvesting and repitching.
A heartfelt congratulations to the 2025 World Beer Cup winners—it's always a joy to see such dedication to the craft! We can't wait to see what's brewed next, and we're proud to support all the brewers out there making amazing beer. Cheers to a successful Craft Brewers Conference 2025, and we look forward to seeing you in Philadelphia!
Yeast health is critically important for building a successful brewing operation. It not only supports consistent, high-quality beer production, but also drives financial performance through shorter tank residency times, fewer off-target batches, and increased generational re-pitching of yeast cultures. We will explore what yeast health actually means, how to monitor it, and the key fermentation…

Temperature is one of the three key cold-side variables, along with pitch rate and dissolved oxygen, that brewers can control to influence fermentation performance and flavor. We’ll break down how temperature impacts yeast activity from knockout through the end of fermentation, and how dialing it in leads to consistent, predictable results. Knockout Take your yeast…

Pitch rate is one of the most underrated levers in brewing, and yet it impacts everything from tank turns to ester profile to repitching health. When pitch rate fluctuates, so do fermentation speed, flavor, and your cellar schedule. Brewers can control multiple factors on the cold side. There are 3 key variables brewers can dial…
