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.
