About this evolutionary packaging

• White Labs had a goal in creating PurePitch Next Generation for Homebrewers.  This new evolution provides a product that will allow hobbyists and small scale brewers a convenient and modular package to pitch a consistent 7.5 million cells/mL; a commercially recommended pitching rate for standard ale ranges. The same package has proven to be an optimization to PurePitch for larger professional brewers for over a year.
• Now with more yeast, get a foolproof fermentation without a starter. Following a commercially recommended pitching rate allowing you to pitch like the pros!
• PurePitch Next Generation, an evolution of White Labs’ PurePitch – the most superior and consistent yeast on the market – has been made even better with new packaging powered by FlexCell Technology for ease of use and a pitch rate resulting in a foolproof fermentation every time.

From the Ardennes region of Belgium, this classic yeast strain produces moderate levels of ester and phenolic characters, often described as dried sage and black cracked pepper.
