PIKA FastOrange® Wild Yeast Bouillon

PIKA FastOrange® Wild Yeast Bouillon is a ready-made culture medium which was specifically developed for the detection of wild yeasts in breweries and wineries. The ingredients are optimized to quickly grow both non-Saccharomyces and Saccharomyces wild yeasts, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus and Brettanomyces (Dekkera) yeasts.

The principle of its selectivity is based on the EBC method 4.2.5.1 Saccharomyces Wild Yeasts, Cu-differentiation which describes the inhibition of brewers’ yeast growth by copper ions.

Incubation time is 1-2 days with PCR and can be up to 5 days when Brettanomyces is in low concentration. Incubation time is 3-5 days with visual evaluation and can be up to 7 days when Brettanomyces is in low concentration.

PIKA FastOrange® Wild Yeast Tubes are incubation tubes prefilled with enrichment medium concentrate. They are easy to use and can be applied for all liquid samples.

PIKA FastOrange® Wild Yeast Agar

PIKA FastOrange® Wild Yeast Agar is a ready-made culture medium which was specifically developed for the detection of wild yeasts in breweries and wineries. The ingredients are optimized to grow both non-Saccharomyces and Saccharomyces wild yeasts, including S. cerevisiae var. diastaticus and Brettanomyces (Dekkera) yeasts, while suppressing growth of most brewing yeasts.

The principle of its selectivity is based on the EBC method 4.2.5.1 Saccharomyces Wild Yeasts, Cu-differentiation which describes the inhibition of brewers’ yeast growth by copper ions.

Incubation time is 1-3 days.
