The Perfect Yeast for Mexican Lager Brewing

If you're looking for a cold fermenting yeast with a neutral character, BAJA from CellarScience is the perfect candidate. Originally developed and popularized by the Modelo Group, this Mexican yeast strain will produce clean, crisp lagers and finishes dry. Allowing for the balanced expression of malt and hops, BAJA will become your go-to yeast for fermenting Mexican-style light lagers, dark lagers, and cold IPAs.

Quality and Convenience in One

BAJA yeast is designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no oxygenation required in the initial fermentation. Our aerobic growth process makes this possible by creating dry yeast with high viability and high sterol levels. BAJA yeast is pre-loaded with essential nutrients to ensure a successful, complete fermentation.

High-Quality Dry Yeast for Brewing

For years, liquid yeast has been sold as the higher quality option, but times are changing. CellarScience is helping to flip that script with a full lineup of high-quality dry yeasts. Cell count and viability are usually higher than commercial liquid yeast pitches, which vary from pouch to pouch and don't ship well.

Easy to Use and Cost-Effective

CellarScience yeast can be pitched directly in most batches of wort, offering significant time savings. Yeast that is quick and easy to use, high quality, and available at a reasonable cost adds up to a tremendous value. Quality yeast that doesn't 'break the bank'.

Optimize Your Fermentation

For high gravity ferments, consider rehydrating yeast with CellarScience yeast hydration nutrient. For high gravity or low nutrient wort, feed your fermentation with CellarScience complex yeast nutrient mix.
