Ripe Banana esters, with a hint of pear, makes Omega Yeast’s new exclusive strain OYL-400 Bananza™ a stand out for pastry stouts, milkshake IPAs and other modern ales. Unlike its parental Hefeweizen strain, Bananza™ is versatile because it is non-phenolic and therefore incapable of producing clove flavors that would mask its pure banana profile.
For prime banana esters, pitch at 68°F (20°C) and let it free rise to 72-76°F (21-23°C.)
Yeast Characteristics:
- Temp Range: 66 – 75°F
- Attenuation: 73 – 77%
- Flocculation: Low
- Alcohol Tolerance: 10%
- Non-Phenolic (POF-)

Available only in the US and Canada, while we would love to make these strains available internationally, many countries’ regulations do not yet allow the sale of organisms developed using modern gene-editing, regardless of the type of modification introduced by the technique. Therefore, these are available only in the US.
