LalBrew NovaLager™ is a true bottom fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid from a novel lineage that has been selected to produce clean lager beer styles with distinct flavor characteristics and superior fermentation performance. It is a robust lager yeast strain with ideal brewing properties, including fast fermentations, high attenuation, and high flocculation. The distinct flavor profile is very clean, slight esters over a wide temperature range.

LalBrew NovaLager™ is the result of the research and development work of Renaissance Bioscience Corp. (Vancouver BC, Canada) in partnership with Lallemand Brewing. It was selected using classical and non-GMO breeding methods to obtain a novel Saccharomyces cerevisiae x Saccharomyces eubayanus hybrid strain that defines a novel Group III (Renaissance) lager lineage, different from any other traditional Saccharomyces pastorianus strains.

This strain is a low VDK/diacetyl producer and utilizes patented technology from the University of California Davis (USA) to ensure that the strain will not produce hydrogen sulfide ( H2S) off-flavors, therefore reducing the maturation time associated with lager beer production.

Framed within the Lalbrew® Premium Hybrid yeast product line, LalBrew Novalager™ is a highly anticipated addition
to our portfolio of solutions for production of Lager beer styles, in addition to our LalBrew Diamond™.

Did you know that malolactic bacteria strains can influence wine flavour, just like yeast?

Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is more than a simple conversion of malic acid to lactic acid. There are several other co-occurring metabolic processes that can enhance flavour, aroma, and mouthfeel in both reds and whites. These sensory impacts vary and largely depend on malolactic bacteria strain.

Choosing malolactic bacteria strains comes down to two things: wine chemistry and desired wine style. Always ensure your strain of choice is compatible with wine pH, alcohol, and SO2. Then, choose a strain that aligns with your sensory goals.

Use Lallemand bacteria to boost wine flavour, aroma and texture! Visit https://scottlabsltd.com/ to shop ML bacteria and order online today! 🍇🍷🥂🍾

Have lenticular media filtration questions? 💬

Our Technical Filtration Specialist, Maria Peterson, answered one of her most frequently asked questions from filtration customers using lenticular media:

➖ FAQ: Can I use two different grades of lenticular media in the same housing and filter in one pass?

➖ Answer: You cannot mix single grade media in the same housing, i.e. a K100 with a K300. The liquid will simply follow the path of least resistance which means you can expect a significant decrease in throughput and efficiency as well as inconsistent filtrate quality. Scott Labs offers a limited HP series of Supradisc dual grade media in 12” and 16” that contains two grades in one module. The dual grade media is not backflushable (and not compatible with backflush support plates as used with regular Supradisc II media) and contains half the surface area of regular K and ZD-Series media. Dual Grade media is a great alternative for filtering small, specialized lots or where there is a lack of time or tanks to filter into.

Visit our website for more information or to purchase Supradisc media ➡️ https://scottlabsltd.com/

We're raising a glass today on (and every day), to all of the great Canadian wineries and their supporters from coast to coast! 🥂

We have so much to celebrate when we think about Canadian wine. From the soil and the climate needed to encourage healthy and productive vines, to the winemakers who spend countless early mornings and just as many late nights perfecting their harvest, and of course, the loyal consumers who continue to support Canadian wine.

Happy National Wine Day! 🍾

At Scott Labs Canada, we have over 50 wine and cider yeast strains!

While we all produce within the same country, our growing and producing regions are all unique and require the producer to carefully select a yeast strain that meets both their fermentation requirements and their desired bottle profile for sensory and aromatics.

So we ask you, our Canadian producers - what is the strain that you rely on during a difficult vintage, or that you could simply not live without? 🤔

As part of Scott Labs exit from the hop category in 2022, we want to provide you with some important information and support as you explore other options for fulfilling your hop needs.

As part of our exit, we have partnered with Yakima Chief Hops and they now have secured long term exclusive use of the Scott Labs cold storage freezer at our facility in southern Ontario.

YCH is thrilled to announce that they are now forming their own Canada-based business entity as a way to further enhance their presence in the Canadian brewing community. This provides YCH with the opportunity to ship from a local facility when possible. With the new Canadian-based business, they are able to provide Canadian brewers next-level service including:

• The ability to do business in CAD with YCH
• YCH-handled customs brokerage
• Improved shipping lanes and delivery times
• Expanded access to YCH inventory, including proprietary varieties such as Mosaic®, Citra® and Simcoe® as well as our advanced products
• Greater resources unique to the needs of the local brewing community
• And as always, direct relationships with YCH sales team members

In order to ensure that there is no disruption to your supply of hops, YCH will begin the transition period beginning in August 2021 and plan to be fully integrated by 2022. During this time, YCH will work closely alongside Scott Labs to ensure that you have the opportunity and resources to procure the hops you need to maintain your brewery operations.
