NE HAZY – The Yeast for Hazy, Juicy Beers
NE HAZY is our specialized ale yeast for New England style (NE) hazy beers. If you’re looking to craft a juicy, flavor-packed brew with a lasting, stable haze, this strain has you covered.
This low-flocculating, biotransformative strain enhances mouthfeel and turbidity through its interaction with glycoproteins and hop compounds, making it ideal for NEIPAs, Hazy IPAs, Pale Ales, and Juicy Doubles. During fermentation, it releases mannoproteins, a class of glycoproteins from its cell walls that create a soft, pillowy body while reinforcing haze stability.
NE HAZY actively participates in biotransformation, modifying hop-derived polyphenols and interacting with protein-rich compounds from wheat and oats. This process forms stable protein-polyphenol complexes that lock haze into suspension and intensify the beer’s juicy, full-bodied character. The result is an exceptionally stable haze, smooth-drinking beer with elevated mouthfeel, hop saturation, and tropical fruit expression.
It ferments cleanly across a wide temperature range (62–75°F / 17–24°C) and is pressure-tolerant up to 12 PSI, making it highly versatile for a variety of brewhouse setups.
- Amplifies Hop Aroma & Flavor: Boosts tropical and citrus notes for NE-style juiciness
- Enhances Juicy Character: Transforms hop precursors into free thiols like grapefruit, passionfruit, guava, pineapple, peach, apricot, tangerine, and lime
- Boosts Haze Stability: Builds durable haze through glycoprotein and polyphenol interactions
- Flexible Fermentation: Performs across 62–75°F (17–24°C); pressure-tolerant to 12 PSI
- Robust & Reliable: Medium-low flocculation, consistent haze retention
- Attenuation: ~75–80%
- Alcohol Tolerance: 12% ABV
- Direct Pitch: No rehydration needed
- Quality Control: Every batch PCR-verified for purity and consistency
- High Cell Count: 15 g per sachet — over 36% more than standard 11 g dry yeast packs
Dosage
One sachet treats 5–6 gal (19–23 L). For larger batches, use 2–3 g/gal (0.5–0.8 g/L). Round up to the next full sachet rather than measuring precisely.
Like all CellarScience yeasts, NE HAZY delivers professional-grade performance for both homebrewers and craft brewers producing the saturated, juicy haze that defines the modern New England IPA.
