Fermentation Temp Range
Each yeast strain has a temperature range where it performs best. Lagers require cooler temps, while Kveik yeasts can ferment in extreme heat. Maintaining the proper fermentation temperature for each yeast strain is crucial its health. Matching a yeast's ideal range to your environment (or your ability to control temp) is key to getting clean, consistent results.
Scale from 30°-120°F

LalBrew Pomona™ is engineered to maximize hop expression while contributing bright peach, citrus, pineapple, and tropical fruit esters. Its high attenuation produces a clean, dry finish that keeps hop flavor at the forefront, while medium flocculation helps preserve the soft mouthfeel and stable haze associated with modern hazy IPA styles.

During active fermentation, Pomona™ supports hop biotransformation, helping unlock additional tropical fruit aromatics from dry hopping. The result is a balanced fermentation profile that enhances aroma complexity without overwhelming the beer's intended hop character.
