Omega Yeast OYL-405 Helio Gazer™ Yeast
Helio Gazer™ is the latest patent-pending strain in Omega’s Thiolized™ series. With enhanced Thiolized™ capabilities, Helio Gazer boosts thiol biotransformation to free thiols 200x above sensory threshold, creating a supernova of tropical, passion fruit flavors and aromas. Even in the juiciest of IPAs, expect robust guava and New Zealand sauvignon blanc-like aromas along with the beloved sturdy haziness of its parent strain, British Ale V. Pair with mash hopping, grape-derived products, or regional malt and hops for peak thiols.
Helio Gazer’s enhanced Thiolized ability produces nearly 20x more thiols than Cosmic Punch, presenting a new option for layering in even more intense, complex thiol character to your beer. Boost tropical aromatics and flavors for a new perspective on IPAs.
