Pressure-Tolerant: Capable of fermenting under pressures up to 12 PSI, ideal for closed-system or spunding fermentations.
Flocculation: Medium to High, leading to rapid clarification post-fermentation.
Attenuation: High attenuation range of 75–83%.
Direct Pitching: Designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no pre-oxygenation or rehydration required before pitching.

Packaging & Dosage

VELO bricks are designed to provide maximum cell count for superior pitching rates and reliable fermentation every time.

Calculation for Larger Batches

Use at a rate of 0.5-1g per Litre (approx. 50-100 g/hL).
Pitch 1 x 500g brick per 5-10hL / 4.3-8.5 bbl
