Prohibition Homebrew

Prohibition Homebrew is proud to carry Lalvin and Red Star Dry yeasts as well as Wyeast liquid yeast:

Lalvin Yeast Strains:
Some of the world’s best winemakers trust Lalvin dry yeast to bring out the best in their wines. Through a specialized manufacturing process, Lalvin yeast is brought to peak condition
for use in winemaking applications, then quickly stabilized by removing most of
the moisture content. This allows Lalvin dry yeast to stay active through storage
until it is rehydrated and pitched, ready to start the fermentation process.

Wyeast Laboratories Liquid Yeast Strains:
Wyeast Laboratories, Inc. Activator™ packages are designed for direct inoculation of 5 gallons of must or juice. The Smack Pack System™ provides optimum conditions for storage, while providing proof of healthy yeast ready for inoculation of must of juice. Activator™ packages include sterile liquid nutrient pouch that, when “smacked”, releases its contents into the yeast slurry and “activates” the package. The available nutrients initiate the culture’s metabolism which in turn generates CO2 and causes swelling of the package. This process will reduce lag times by preparing the yeast for a healthy fermentation prior to inoculation. Activation also serves as a viability test of the culture. Expansion of the package is an indicator of healthy (viable and vital) yeast. Although beneficial, cultures do not need to be activated prior to inoculation.
