The amylase enzyme goes in with the yeast, so this beer finishes far drier than any attenuation figure suggests whichever strain you pick. US-05 stays neutral throughout, which means what you taste is Citra and Mosaic over almost nothing else. That is what a brut IPA is.
Ferment at 64-79°F
Attenuation 78-82%
Flocculation Medium
Clean and neutral
Hop aroma turned up
The whirlpool and the dry hop are what this beer tastes of, so a strain that amplifies both is doing real work. Let it run warm to push it further still. Mid range flocculation, so it takes a few extra days to go crystal clear.
Ferment at 64-73°F
Attenuation 73-85%
Flocculation Medium
Clean and hop forward
The purest read on Citra and Mosaic
This beer is pale, bone dry and made of Citra and Mosaic, and Flagship adds about as little on top of that as a brewing yeast can. It also takes the enzyme driven dryness in stride without stalling out.
Ferment at 60-72°F
Attenuation 73-77%
Flocculation Low-Medium
Extremely clean
Clean without being clinical
The amylase enzyme takes this beer very dry whichever yeast you choose, so a strain with a little warmth to it earns its place. 1056 is clean but rounder than US-05, and held cool it adds a soft citrus note that layers under the Citra and Mosaic.

How the Brewing Process Works
Mash: Convert grain starches into fermentable sugars with a dry mash profile for a light, crisp body. Add amylase enzyme for full attenuation.
Sparge: Rinse the grains to collect sweet wort.
Boil: Add dextrose during the boil. Add Citra and Mosaic hops at whirlpool for tropical aroma.
Ferment: Ferment with American ale yeast until clean and fully attenuated. Dry hop with Citra and Mosaic for intense tropical character.
Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks from brew day to glass.
This all-grain Funky Buddha Chant IPA delivers a crisp, low-calorie session IPA with bold tropical hop aroma and a clean, dry finish.
New to Liquid Yeast?
Liquid yeast can deliver excellent fermentation performance and a wider range of strain options, but it’s a living, perishable product that requires a little extra care.
Liquid yeast may arrive warm. Ice packs help reduce heat exposure but do not guarantee cold arrival.
Refrigerate it when received and plan to brew as soon as possible.
We recommend adding an insulated mailer + ice pack to liquid yeast orders.
During May–September, dry yeast is strongly recommended due to higher shipping temperatures.
Liquid yeast is final sale and cannot be replaced due to heat exposure during transit.
