OUR STRAINS
BUDDY | FT01 (American Ale)
Every brewer needs a reliable mate, and Buddy is yours. Its clean, steady fermentation keeps yeast character in the background, giving hops and malt plenty of room to do their thing. With solid attenuation and a neutral profile, it’s an easy fit across pale ales, IPAs, American stouts and bigger beers such as Imperial stouts, Double or Triple IPAs or barleywines. Versatile, dependable and never trying to steal the show: brew with your Buddy.
Attenuation: 72-80% | Flocculation: Medium | Alcohol Tolerance: 11% | Temp: 19-22°C
Assumed Origin: Sierra Nevada
Format: 💧Liquid Yeast, ✨Dry Yeast
VAPE | FT02 (Hazy / English Ale)
Clouds no longer belong solely to the sky. The trendy kid on the block, Vape is our answer to sick-as-hazies. Contributing a restrained but present ester profile and a silky mouthfeel, Vape clouds-out most when partnered with a high dose of hops and proteins to render the juiciest of NEIPA’s.
Attenuation: 71-78% | Flocculation: Medium | Alcohol Tolerance: 10% | Temp: 19-23°C
Assumed Origin: Boddington’s
Format: 💧Liquid Yeast, ✨Dry Yeast
SPECTRA | FT03 (Hazy / English Ale)
Explore the more delicate of textures and indulge in a spectrum of radiant flavour & aroma. Spectra boasts a more robust attenuation capacity than many of its counterparts, while exhibiting an elegant ester profile and velvety mouthfeel. This prolific strain dances with hops & protein to offer a mesmerising glow in New England IPA’s, while its Old English origins make it a wise choice for amber & dark ales.
Attenuation: 72-85% | Flocculation: Low-Med | Alcohol Tolerance: 10% | Temp: 17-21°C
Assumed Origin: Unknown (London)
Format: 💧Liquid Yeast only
HEFF | FT10 (Wheat Ale)
The OG hazy strain, Heff brings the full Bavarian wheat-beer experience: soft, hazy and proudly expressive. Expect ripe banana and pineapple esters alongside classic clove spice, with a pillowy mouthfeel and the signature yeast haze of a proper Weissbier. Warmer ferments lean towards pineapple and pear, while cooler temperatures and lower pitch rates push richer banana character. A natural fit for Hefeweizen, Weissbier and other traditional wheat styles.
Attenuation: 73-85% | Flocculation: Low | Alcohol Tolerance: 11% | Temp: 16-24°C
Assumed Origin: Bavaria
Format: ✨Dry Yeast only
PROST | FT11 (Kölsch Ale Yeast)
Prost is the kind of house strain that earns its keep. Run it cool for a clean, neutral fermentation, or let it warm up to bring out a brighter, fruitier ester profile. A haze positive strain, it can also promote hop biotransformation, lifting flavour and aroma in hop-forward beers. Originally at home in Kölsch, Prost is equally comfortable in crisp lager styles, bright pale ales, hazies and refreshing sour styles. A versatile little workhorse worth raising a glass to.
Attenuation: 75-82% | Flocculation: Med-High | Alcohol Tolerance: 11% | Temp: 12-25°C
Assumed Origin: Cologne
Format: ✨Dry Yeast only
RUDEBOY | FT21 (Hazy / English Ale)
Rudeboy has plenty of attitude, but keeps the fermentation pretty tidy. Highly flocculant and relatively neutral, it lets soft fruit and malt character come forward while its lower attenuation leaves a fuller, slightly sweeter finish. That makes it just as useful for bright ESBs, milds and amber ales as it is for rounded pale ales, old-school IPAs and fuller hazies with rustic dried fruit character. Named by Dale Gould as a salute to the UK Ska music scene, this one scrubs up well across the board.
Attenuation: 68-72% | Flocculation: High | Alcohol Tolerance: 9% | Temp: 18-22°C
Assumed Origin: Young’s Brewery
Format: 💧Liquid Yeast only
UNICORN | FT30 (Witbier - Seasonal)
Unicorn is bright, expressive and just a little bit magical. Expect a lively mix of clove, spice and bubblegum, backed by high attenuation for a dry finish and a gentle perception of tartness. It brings classic witbier character without burying the beer, making it a natural fit for Belgian wits, blondes or fruited or spiced Belgian wheat beers. Plenty of personality in the glass, with enough restraint to keep the whole thing easy-drinking.
Attenuation: 72-78% | Flocculation: Low-Med | Alcohol Tolerance: 10% | Temp: 18-24°C
Assumed Origin: Hoegaarden
Format: 💧Liquid Yeast only
VAGABOND | FT51 (Czech Pils)
Vagabond keeps things low and slow, then cleans up nicely. Its moderate attenuation leaves enough body and sweetness to carry nuanced malt character, while the finish stays crisp and clean enough for hops to shine through. The result sits neatly between malt richness and refreshing dryness. It’s right at home across the full spectrum of Czech lagers, from pale and amber styles through to darker, malt-forward brews, and also works beautifully in New Zealand pilsners and other characterful lagers.
Attenuation: 71-75% | Flocculation: Med-High | Alcohol Tolerance: 9% | Temp: 9-13°C
Assumed Origin: Budêjovický Budvar
Format: 💧Liquid Yeast only
SESH | FT52 (German Lager)
Sesh is the OG lager strain for a reason. From the classic Weihenstephan lineage, it ferments steadily at cool temperatures and attenuates well, producing clean, dry and highly drinkable lager. A light touch of fruity and floral ester character keeps the result from feeling stripped back, lifting rather than covering the malt and hops. Reliable, versatile and very comfortable across pilsners, pale lagers and other sessionable styles.
Attenuation: 80-85% | Flocculation: High | Alcohol Tolerance: 10% | Temp: 10-18°C
Assumed Origin: Weinhenstephan
Format: ✨Dry Yeast only
ALPEN | FT53 (Swiss Lager)
Alpen is all crisp edges and tidy finishes. It starts quickly, attenuates strongly and produces very low diacetyl, with minimal ester and sulphur character leaving malt and hops firmly in the foreground. High flocculation means Alpen drops bright fast, making it a dependable choice when clarity, clean flavour and reliable turnaround all matter. Equally comfortable in pilsners, bocks and other European lagers, Alpen also goes hard in Czech-style lagers.
Attenuation: 80-84% | Flocculation: High | Alcohol Tolerance: 10% | Temp: 10-15°C
Assumed Origin: Switzerland
Format: ✨Dry Yeast only
MYTHOS | FT60 (Voss Kveik)
Mythos comes from Norwegian farmhouse tradition, but it’s built for a modern production schedule. This robust Voss Kveik strain handles warm fermentation, high gravity and rapid turnarounds without making a fuss, while still being capable of a clean, efficient finish. It’s a useful option whenever speed, resilience or a bit of extra fermentation muscle matters, particularly in bigger beers such as DIPAs, pastry stouts and ice-cream sours. Hot, fast and hard to rattle.
Attenuation: 75-82% | Flocculation: Med-High | Alcohol Tolerance: 12-14% | Temp: 20-35°C
Assumed Origin: Sigmund Gjernes (Voss, Norway)
Format: ✨Dry Yeast only
NADA | FT00 (Low & Non-Alc Yeast)
Nada proves that low alcohol doesn’t have to mean low character. This non-spoiling Torulaspora delbrueckii strain cannot ferment maltose or maltotriose, keeping alcohol production low while still delivering a short, expressive fermentation. Expect light orchard-fruit and floral aromatics, along with enhanced mouthfeel from elevated glycerol production. Built for modern low- and no-alcohol beer, Nada leaves brewers with plenty to work with even when the ABV stays small.
Attenuation: 15-17% | Flocculation: Med | Alcohol Tolerance: ≤5% | Temp: 17-23°C
Assumed Origin: Wild Isolate (non-spoiling)
Format: ✨Dry Yeast only
WILDING | FTW1 (NZ Wild Ale) - Custom Propagation
Wilding is Aotearoa in a fermenter. Collected from an air trap in the Rangitīkei District, it became the first commercial brewing yeast isolated from the New Zealand wilderness. Expect subtle phenolic spice, banana, pear and apple esters, followed by a surprisingly clean, dry, lager-like finish. Wilding is highly attenuative and STA1-positive, so it rewards deliberate handling and good brewery hygiene. Available by custom propagation for beers that call for something genuinely local and a little untamed.
Attenuation: 84-96% | Flocculation: Low-Med | Alcohol Tolerance: 10% | Temp: 17-23°C
Origin: Rangitīkei District, NZ | STA1: Positive | Pitch Rate: 0.38 - 0.5M cells / mL / °P

YEAST MODE PLUS (Fermentation Supplement)
Modern wort often comes up short on key nutrients, especially in high-adjunct beers, hazy styles, low grav wort, and during repeated yeast re-pitching. When yeast run out of what they need, they start scavenging, stressing, and cutting corners. That is when you see stalled ferments, off-flavours, poor haze stability, and inconsistent results.
Our new & improved formulation, Yeast Mode Plus is a yeast-derived, complete fermentation nutrient. It delivers organic FAN, bioavailable zinc, magnesium, B vitamins, and essential amino acids to support yeast growth, vitality, with clean, reliable fermentation from pitch through to final gravity.
USE: 10-20gm/hL for standard gravity wort. 30gm+/hL for low gravity, high adjunct, or propagations. Full dosage chart available on request.
SIZES: 5kg foil pouches. Price breaks for 10kg and 20kg orders.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY:
“After our first enchanting trials with their ale and lager yeasts, it was undeniable: Froth Tech wasn't just a supplier, but a soulmate in our brewing odyssey. Aligning with them wasn't just business savvy; for us it was a no-brainer, weaving our fates together in a harmonious collaboration of passion and purpose.”
Mario Lanz
(Co-Founder + Head Brewer)
Double Vision Brewing
“Froth Tech yeast has been great, and we’re now using Vape as our core strain across a number of different beers in the brewery. We’ve seen great viability with every batch we’ve got in, we just chuck it in the tank and straight away it’s taken off, so it’s great to have that consistency.”
Jamie Scrimgeour
(Quality Manager & Technical Brewer)
Emerson’s Brewery
“The convenience, the consistency and the reliability is just a relief for me.
It’s one less thing I need to manage in my brewery. What keeps us coming back is the results we get.”Joseph Emans
