Confidential safe deposit service for brewer's yeast
A back-up and storage service for your brewery's yeast strains
Brewery yeast strains, selected for the flavours they give to your beer, and the way they behave in your brewing process, must be looked after if their natural tendency to change is to be countered. Preservation and maintenance of industrial brewing yeast strains is an important job. It needs a high degree of technical skill on the part of the 'Zymotechnologists' and the right equipment.
Trust us to look after your brewery yeast. We can safely store your production brewery yeast cultures and any 'legacy' brewery yeast cultures you have. Protect your assets and preserve your history while you can.
Your brewery yeast will be:
- Quality assured prior to preservation
- Stored securely at -196oC in liquid nitrogen in two separate sites
- Monitored during storage

What do I have to do?open
We've tried to make things as easy as possible. First of all decide whether you want us to preserve a pure master culture from which you are already preparing routine propagations or whether you want us to isolate a pure brewery yeast culture from one of your production cultures.
If you already have a master culture you can supply us with a slant of that.
If you don't have a master culture of your brewery yeast then send us a sample of your yeast slurry from a fermentation that performed well.. We'll then isolate and purify a pure brewery yeast culture from it.
