These plates are used for the detection of all yeast contamination found in your brew.

Each quadrant is made up of different media that detect various species of yeast.

Quadrant 1: Lin’s Cupric Sulfate Media (LCSM) detects non-Saccharomyces wild yeast and inhibits the growth of brewer’s yeast.

Quadrant 2: Lin’s Wild Yeast Media (LWYM) detects all wild yeast including wild Saccharomyces strains and inhibits brewer’s yeast.

Quadrant 3: Lysine Media (LM) detects all wild yeast strains, including strains that may not grow on the Lin’s media.

Quadrant 4: Wallerstein Nutrient Media (WLN) is non-selective and detects all wild yeast, pitching yeast and some bacterial strains that are common brew contaminants.
