Omega Yeast

Your dry hop timing is only half the equation.

We ran the experiment: Same wort. Same dry hop schedule. Different yeast.

Some strains dropped crystal clear. Others built haze that got stronger the later we dry hopped.

The difference is genetic—the HZY1 gene. It completely changes how your beer responds to dry hop timing, and how you might sharpen or reimagine your approach to IPAs.

Which strains make haze, which don't, and how timing changes everything 👇
