WEST COAST is a refined evolution of the classic American ale strain engineered for modern brewing while honoring its proven roots. It delivers the same clean, dependable performance as CALI, with just a trace of fruit character that lends a quiet depth to the final beer. This nuance stays well in the background, complementing rather than competing with hops or malt. Ideal as a house strain, WEST COAST can refresh a Flagship recipe or anchor a new one, offering robust, reliable fermentations every time. Designed for simplicity, it can be pitched directly into wort no oxygenation or rehydration required.

• Flocculation: Medium to High
• Fermentation: Range: 59-72ºF (15-22°C)
• Attenuation: Approximately 75–84%
• Alcohol Tolerance: 10% ABV
• Direct Pitch: No rehydration needed
• Reliable & Consistent: Every batch undergoes PCR testing for quality
• High Cell Count: 15g per sachet—over 36% more than standard 11g dry yeast packs

Dosage:
One sachet is enough to treat a 5–6 gallon batch. When calculating for larger batches, use at a rate of 2–3 grams per gallon of wort. We recommend rounding up by one full sachet rather than measuring out the yeast exactly.

Like all CellarScience yeast, WEST COAST offers professional-grade performance for both homebrewers and craft brewers at an unbeatable value. If you love the clean versatility of CALI but want a touch more character, West Coast  is your next go-to strain.
