After several years of research and trials with dry yeast production and fermentation, we finally entrusted our beloved yeasts to a family-owned and operated, experienced yeast manufacturer, with a passion for the industry, just like us: Lallemand Brewing. In collaboration, we brought the yeast strains and uncompromising quality White Labs is known for in a brand new product. This first strain release brings you an authentic dry version of WLPD066 London Fog Ale Yeast®, our most popular hazy brewing strain.
The standardized quality control we perform on our liquid yeast is also the same as what we employ with our dry yeast. The process by which liquid and dry yeast are grown, stored, and used can be different, resulting in some practical differences for brewers and nuances in the flavor and aroma profile of the final product.
London Calling! White Labs is excited to bring you WLPD066 London Fog Ale Yeast®, the most popular strain for Hazy/Juicy IPAs. This strain will deliver pineapple and ruby red grapefruit aromas, with hop balance and some residual sweetness resulting in a velvety mouthfeel. Take your IPA to the next level with London Fog® Today!

All dry yeast should be stored refrigerated to maintain 36°F to 40°F (2°C-4°C) the appropriate shelf life. Dry yeast can be used up to the expiration date printed on the package, 2 years from production date. Once a pack is opened, use the yeast as quickly as possible. An opened pack must be stored refrigerated and used within one week. A re-sealed vacuumed and refrigerated pack can be kept until the end of its shelf life. DO NOT FREEZE
When most brewers talk about IPAs, the spotlight almost always lands on hops. New varieties, new products, and new combinations. It's easy to get caught up in the hop arms race. But here’s the truth that every experienced brewer eventually learns: You can’t brew a world-class IPA without world-class fermentation. Yeast doesn’t just “make alcohol”…

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…
