WLP618 NA All Day Yeast - White Labs Yeast Pure Pitch Next Gen

WLP618 White Labs NA All Day Ale Yeast

Looking to brew great-tasting non-alcoholic beer? White Lab's WLP618 NA All Day is your go-to yeast. This strain, Saccharomycodes ludwigii, was carefully selected for its clean profile and minimal ethyl acetate production, helping brewers craft flavorful NA and low-ABV beers.

Unlike traditional brewing yeasts, WLP618 is maltose-negative, meaning it ferments only simple sugars like glucose, sucrose, and fructose—keeping alcohol levels low while preserving depth and aroma. Whether you're brewing a sessionable NA IPA or a crisp wheat beer, this yeast delivers.

WLP618 NA All Day Yeast Characteristics

• Attenuation: Up to 20%
• Flocculation: Medium
• Alcohol Tolerance: Low (2 - 5%)
• Optimum Fermentation Temp: 68 - 75°F (20 - 24°C)
• STA1: Negative

Key Considerations for Brewing Non-Alcoholic Beer

• Keep Wort Fermentability Low: Use a smaller grain bill to decrease original gravity to 5-7° Plato and mash at a high temperature (above 162°F / 72°C) to reduce fermentable sugars.
• pH Adjustment: Adjust the wort pH to below 4.6 using phosphoric or lactic acid for microbial stability.
• Stabilization: Use a 0.45-micron sterile filter and a microbial stabilization method to ensure shelf stability.
• Enhancing Flavor: Post-fermentation additions of non-sugar flavorings, water profile adjustments, or the inclusion of unmalted grains can help improve body and mouthfeel.
