CellarScience Velo

CellarScience Velo Ale Yeast

VELO is a high-performance ale yeast selected for speed, flavor neutrality, and wide temperature tolerance. In internal sensory comparisons, VELO's ester suppression and clean finish exceeded CellarScience CALI, while offering faster kinetics and a wide operating range that can substantially reduce the need for temperature control. A dependable house strain across styles — especially for hop-forward ales, pseudo-lagers, and hard seltzers.

Flavor Profile

Exceptionally clean and neutral with very low ester and phenol expression. Preserves hop brightness in modern IPAs while staying tidy in low-IBU and malt-forward beers. Produces a dry, polished finish that stays out of the way of your ingredients.
