Yeast in the SE USA

[Daniel Parshley]

I'm a newer brewer that has taken 29 batches to figure out hops/malt and now venturing into yeast options. The "C" hops have gotten my attention and now looking for a yeast that can take the summer in SE Georgia/N Florida humid summers without killing the AC bill. I'm looking at Omega Yeast 091 for the temperature profile and tropical flavors. Any other options for 72-74 F and tropical/citrus flavors? Is there a dry yeast that will do a similar job (shipping/heat...). Thanks ahead of time.

Kviek Voss yeast sounds appropriate If you want that citrus thing it ferments pretty Clean but I found it always has a citrusy edge to it.
It'll handle hot temps better than any yeast i know of and will rip through any wort you give it.
I'm using Hornindal Kviek atm that will give a more tropical fruit character to your beer.
I find they both don't like to drop clear any time soon but could be something to do with my brewing.

I second the VOSS, have used that on my most recent two batches.
Pitched last Tuesday early evening, it was at FG Thursday.
Let it sit for a couple more days, have it crashing right now, plan to keg tomorrow.
Ben is right on with the citrus flavor.
Lallemand has a dry version.

I’m over in Louisiana. And my wife won’t let me brew or ferment in the house.

I set up a fermenter with a chilled water recirc for temperature control. So I can ferment at 65 while it’s 95 outside.

There are a number of other cooling solutions available.

I lucked out and have a spare bathroom with an exhaust fan. My bride won't let me cook wort in the house.

Yep Tben has the yeast for you, Kviek it loves the heat. I'm putting a Frem Chamber together just to get temp up for this yeast!
