Thiol Libre liberates tropical thiol aromas in your hops and malt.
With Thiol Libre, you get more intense tropical fruit aromas in your beers without adding more hops or adjuncts. Thiol-liberated beers display strong guava and passionfruit notes even with old-school hops like Cascade. This strain also ferments faster than other high biotransformation strains and produces stable haze. It can be repitched for 8 generations with consistent results.
