A light lager specifically designed for Omega Yeast Labs' Lunar Crush Thiolized® yeast strain, Lunar Crushable is a delicious lager with a dry finish. We have given this beer some Saaz hops that go in with the grains and help to boost thiols in the beer. This, along with the boil hops and addition of Phantasm Thiol Powder during the whirlpool, allow the Lunar Crush yeast to take thiol production out of this world!
WTF are Thiols?
Thiols are compounds found abundantly in malt and hops, that give off huge tropical notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, and guava. The problem is that these thiols are locked away; inaccessible to homebrewers using traditional ingredients. Now, thanks to science and the geniuses at Omega Yeast, those huge tropical notes can now burst forward in your homebrew creations! Using a mix of malt, certain hop varieties, Phantasm crushed grape powder, and Thiolized® yeast from Omega, you can amp up the juiciness of just about any beer you can think of!
