A strong fermenter popularly referred to as “Conan.” Its peach, apricot and pineapple notes are steroids for hops, complementing modern fruity hop profiles in particular. A diacetyl rest is suggested if fermented in the lower temperature range. Many brewers enjoy blending DIPA with British V (OYL-011) for enhanced haze and complex, fruity ester profile.

Omega OYL-052 is their DIPA Ale yeast — specifically designed for Double IPAs (hence the name) but it’s super versatile in big, hoppy, and malty beers.

It’s known for:

High alcohol tolerance (great for strong beers)

Clean, crisp fermentation

Excellent flocculation (drops clear easily)

Slightly fruity, but generally lets hops and malt shine
