Set phasers to yum and prepare to accelerate your brewing to warp speed with Imperial yeast

new spring seasonal strain A05 Voyager.

With its high floculation characteristics and wide temperature range, Voyager is an extremely flexible strain for

fermenting styles ranging from old school E.S.B. to modern IPAs.

At lower temperatures, Voyager produces nutty flavors and malt forward beers, while warmer temps produce apricot and peacheromas

perfect for those hoppy IPAs.

A05 Voyager is available now through the end of May 2019,

so get some while you can.

This one though, I got nothing for in terms of like what I thought was going to happen because

Yeah. That like it'd be like what would happen if you don't mash? You know what I mean?

Like it's one of those things that is you just don't have beer and that's that.

Like that's the end, what do you mean? That's the end of the process. So going into this one, like I wasn't like super

enthused about it because I just, I honestly just didn't have a reason to

question it I never had a reason to think about it yeah but the further you go
