IPA yeast, a unique strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is prized by craft brewers for its ability to produce India Pale Ales (IPAs) with intense hop aromas and flavors. Originating in England in the 19th century, IPA yeast has undergone several adaptations to thrive in the demanding conditions of IPA brewing, resulting in a robust and versatile strain that is highly sought after by homebrewers and commercial breweries alike. Its exceptional performance in fermenting high-gravity worts, coupled with its ability to attenuate a wide range of fermentable sugars, makes IPA yeast an ideal choice for creating bold and flavorful IPAs that showcase the full spectrum of hop characteristics.
