Product details

Lunar Crush Lager is the latest patent-pending strain in Omega's Thiolized™ series. Lunar Crush biotransforms thiol precursors from malt, hops, and grape-derived products for a new wave of passion fruit, guava, and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc fruitiness. This isn’t your typical lager yeast—Lunar Crush is the perfect companion for complex, hop-forward styles or even creating something entirely new by simplifying your recipe for the boldest thiol expression. Learn more about biotransformation here.

Lunar Crush Lager Yeast Characteristics:

  • Temp Range: 50-65°F
  • Attenuation: 70-78%
  • Flocculation: Medium
  • Alcohol Tolerance: 9% ABV

Available only in the US, while we would love to make these strains available internationally, many countries' regulations do not yet allow the sale of organisms developed using modern gene-editing, regardless of the type of modification introduced by the technique.

Thiolized Lager Yeast

First batch using this (basic Mexican lager recipe) has been bottled but not yet ready for drinking. That said, Lunar Crush fermented quickly and healthily, giving off a much fruitier aroma than the typical lager, and came out quite clear. Having snuck a taste during bottling, the yeast does seem like it nudged things in a sweeter direction. I suspect the thiol boost may allow/call for using slightly more of the typical noble hops ... could also make for interesting experiments with more expressive hop varieties, non-traditional grains/malts, or something like oak chips.
