## Description

ActivatorTM packages include a sterile liquid nutrient pouch that, when "smacked", releases its contents into the yeast slurry and "activates" the package. The available nutrients initiate the culture's metabolism which in turn generates CO2 and causes swelling of the package. This process will reduce lag times by preparing the yeast for a healthy fermentation prior to inoculation. Activation also serves as a viability test of the culture. Expansion of the package is an indicator of healthy (viable and vital) yeast. Although beneficial, cultures do not need to be activated prior to inoculation. For lagers, we recommend inoculating the wort at warm temperatures (68-70°F/ 20-21°C), waiting for signs of fermentation, and then adjusting to the desired temperature. Alternatively, for pitching into cold conditions (34-58°F/ 1-14°C) or higher gravity wort, we recommend increasing this pitching rate. This can be achieved by pitching additional ActivatorTM packages or by making a starter culture. Please see the Pitch Rate section for additional information.

## Features

- CZECH PILS STRAIN: 2278
- Originating from the home of great Pilsners in the Czech Republic, this classic strain will finish dry and malty. It is the perfect choice for Bohemian-style Pilsners. Sulfur produced during fermentation can be reduced with warmer fermentation temperatures 58°F (14°C) and will dissipate with conditioning.
- GOOD FOR STYLES: Czech Pale Lager, Czech Amber Lager, Czech Dark Lager, Vienna Lager, Munich Dunkel, Dunkels Bock
- ActivatorTM packages are designed for direct inoculation of 5 gallons of standard gravity ale wort. ActivatorTM packages contain live yeast cells in a liquid slurry. This yeast slurry is packaged in an optimum condition for storage, while maintaining the ability for rapid and complete fermentation.
- The ActivatorTM package contains a minimum of 100 billion cells in a yeast slurry. The ActivatorTM is designed to directly inoculate 5 gallons of standard strength ale wort (1.034-1.060 SG) with professional pitching rates.
