Chris Muench — Sat, 16 Aug 2025 19:13:23 +0000

A Thiolized version of our popular hazy strain, British Ale V (OYL-011), Cosmic Punch Ale generates thiols through biotransformation, releasing tropical aromas experienced in southern hemisphere hops and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. This punchy strain unleashes vibrant grapefruit, passion fruit and guava notes. Expect the same performance and haze you get from British V, but with additional thiol aromas. Experiment with mash hopping or wine grape-derived products to push even more thiols.

Strain Type: Ales
Flocculation: High
Attenuation: 71-75%
Temperature Range: 64–75° F (18–24° C)

Omega OYL-042 Belgian Saison II

gregradz — Thu, 25 Jan 2024 23:09:11 +0000

Thought to originate from a small, sophisticated, Belgian brewer’s spelt saison. It is earthy, spicy, peppery, tart and dry, with tropical fruit and citrus at warm fermentation temperatures. A perfect strain for farmhouse ales and saisons. It favors pitching in the low 70s (21°C), and free-rising from there.

This strain tests positive for the STA1 gene, an indicator of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus. This strain may have the ability to metabolize dextrins over time, resulting in higher than expected attenuation.

Flocculation: Medium
Attenuation: 74-79%
Temperature Range: 70-84° F (21-29° C)
Alcohol Tolerance: 12%

Omega OYL-026 French Saison

gregradz — Thu, 25 Jan 2024 23:07:56 +0000

This citrusy, lightly phenolic saison strain is so attenuative and reliable in performance that people joke it could ferment a shoe. The French Saison strain results in great body consistency. It is good for any of the characteristically aromatic Belgian styles and is highly compatible with hops and spice aromas.

This strain tests positive for the STA1 gene, an indicator of Saccharomyces cerevsiae var. diastaticus, and is capable of fermenting dextrins, resulting in very high attenuation.

Flocculation: Low
Attenuation: 80-90%
Temperature Range: 65-77° F (18-25° C)
Alcohol Tolerance: 12%

gregradz — Thu, 25 Jan 2024 22:37:27 +0000

It is a lager-like ale strain that’s lightly fruity, crisp and clean with a hint of sulfur that disappears with age to leave a clean ale. Accentuates hop flavors.

Flocculation: Medium-Low
Attenuation: 72-78%
Temperature Range: 65-69° F (18-21° C)
Alcohol Tolerance: 10%
