LAX is a clean, neutral top fermenting ale yeast originally isolated from a well known West Coast brewery. It has become a staple strain thanks to its reliability, versatility, and ability to let hops take centre stage.

Each sachet contains 11 grams, suitable for fermenting approximately 22 litres of wort. LAX produces a very clean fermentation profile with minimal ester production, ensuring hop aroma and flavour remain crisp, bright, and clearly defined.

The strength of this strain lies in its ability to accentuate hop character. By providing a neutral base, LAX allows modern hop varieties to fully express their aromatic qualities without interference from yeast derived flavours. This makes it ideal for hop forward beers where clarity and balance are essential.

LAX also offers strong attenuation and high alcohol tolerance, making it suitable for everything from standard pale ales to high gravity beers. Its robust fermentation performance and predictable behaviour make it a dependable choice for brewers of all experience levels.

Whether you are brewing a classic American Pale Ale, a bold West Coast IPA, or even a clean stout, LAX delivers consistent and repeatable results.
