Home brew yeast launches with crowdfunding campaign

A few years ago Froth Technologies was born with the dream of localising yeast supply and helping the brewers of Aotearoa make all-Kiwi beers by raising yeast right here in NZ.

In 2019 we ran our first PledgeMe campaign, where we sought to raise funds to upscale our production capacity by setting up our own custom designed yeast factory. We also laid out our Carbon Reduction Strategy where we set the goal of becoming Carbon Zero Certified, and made our case that with your help we would work to unlock the hidden flavours of Aotearoa and put them into your pint.

So here we are, a few years later. We’re proud to say that following that successful campaign in 2019 we have managed to achieve everything we promised and more! We’re supplying yeast to craft breweries all over NZ, and we're now starting to export yeast to breweries in Australia. We’ve gone beyond our goal of Carbon Neutrality and become a certified Net Climate Positive Business and invested in a solar PV system on our roof. And last, but certainly not least, after years of R&D we have just released the first commercial brewers yeast harvested from the wilds of Aotearoa. Our mahi has been recognised with a handful of awards in business & innovation.
