Description
LalBrew Pomona™ – Modern Hybrid IPA Yeast
LalBrew Pomona™ is a hybrid yeast that was selected for flavour and fermentation performance in hoppy beers. Named after the goddess of fruit trees, LalBrew Pomona™ produces a unique and juicy flavour profile with notes of peach, citrus, and tropical fruits. This strain was developed by our partner Escarpment Laboratories (Canada) using advanced yeast breeding and adaptive laboratory evolution in high ABV and highly hopped IPA fermentations. The result is a fruity, stress-tolerant, and robust strain that enhances biotransformation and haze for modern IPA styles.
Benefits
Why is LalBrew Pomona™ a game-changer?
Great all-around IPA strain with peach, citrus, and tropical fruit notes plus a stable haze.
- High biotransformation potential
- Unique flavour profile with notes of peach, citrus, and tropical fruits
- Selected for fermentation in high-gravity and highly hopped wort
- Haze-positive for stable haze
- Robust and re-pitchable
Hybrid
Yeast Hybridization science
They used yeast breeding to cross a highly aromatic strain with a super robust and reliable strain. Then they used a process called adaptive lab evolution to adapt it to the unique fermentation conditions of IPAs, enhancing biotransformation and haze. The result is an excellent new yeast strain for modern hop-forward beers.
Usage
The pitch rate will affect the fermentation performance and flavour of the beer. For LalBrew Pomona IPA™ yeast, a pitch rate of 50 – 100g per hL of wort is sufficient to achieve optimal results for most fermentations. More stressful fermentations such as high gravity, high adjunct or high acidity may require higher pitch rates and additional nutrients to ensure a healthy fermentation. LalBrew Pomona IPA™ may be re-pitched just as you would any other type of yeast. When re-pitching dry yeast, it is necessary to aerate the wort.

Storage
- Store LalBrew Pomona™ yeast in a vacuum-sealed package in dry conditions below 4°C (39°F). LalBrew Pomona™ will rapidly lose activity after exposure to air.
- Do not use packets that have lost vacuum. Re-seal opened packs, store them in dry conditions below 4°C (39°F), and use within 3 days. If the opened package is re-sealed under vacuum immediately after opening, yeast can be stored below 4C° (39°F) until the indicated expiry date. Do not use yeast after expiry date printed on the pack.
- Storing it correctly and using it before the expiry date guarantees performance. However, Lallemand dry brewing yeast is very robust and some strains can tolerate brief periods under sub-optimal conditions.
Dry Pitching
Dry pitching is the preferred method of inoculating wort. This method is simpler than rehydration and will give more consistent fermentation performance and reduce the risk of contamination. Sprinkle the yeast evenly on the surface of the wort in the fermenter while filling it. The motion of the wort filling the fermenter will aid in mixing the yeast into the wort. Dry pitching LalBrew LalBrew Pomona™ shows no significant differences in fermentation performance compared to rehydration.
Rehydration
Only use rehydration of yeast prior to pitching when equipment does not easily allow for dry pitching. Significant deviations from rehydration protocols can result in longer fermentations, under-attenuation and increased risk of contamination.
