CellarScience® BAJA Dry Yeast

Description A cold fermenting Mexican yeast that produces clean, crisp lagers. Originally developed and popularized by the Modelo Group, this versatile strain has a neutral character and finishes dry. Perfect for Mexican-style light lagers, dark lagers, and cold IPAs. Every batch is PCR tested to ensure contamination free yeast.  Dosage:Two sachets are enough to treat a 5–6 gallon batch. When calculating for larger batches, use at a rate of 2.5–4 grams per gallon of wort. We recommend rounding up by one full sachet rather than measuring out the yeast exactly. Direct Pitch or Rehydrate:BAJA yeast can be direct pitched with great results by sprinkling it onto the surface of the wort in your fermenter. However, proper hydration helps ensure a healthy fermentation and is especially recommended for beer with a starting gravity above 15°P (1.061 SG). To hydrate yeast, first sanitize the yeast pack and a pair of scissors. Boil tap water to sterilize and then cool to 85-95°F (29-35°C). Use
