NOTE: All Wyeast shipments must be packed with enough ice to keep the yeast cool until it reaches it’s destination. Before checkout, please add a minimum of two ice packs to your order. Wyeast shipments will also need be sent by Express Post if being shipped outside the Sunshine Coast, Wide Bay or Capricornia areas. Remember this is a living organism that will be damaged by extended or repeated periods of warm temperatures.
This strain is the classic farmhouse ale yeast.
A traditional yeast that is spicy with complex aromatics, including bubble gum. It is very tart and dry on the palate with a mild fruitiness. Expect a crisp, mildly acidic finish that will benefit from elevated fermentation temperatures. This strain is notorious for a rapid and vigorous start to fermentation, only to stick around 1.035 S.G. Fermentation will finish, given time and warm temperatures. Warm fermentation temperatures, at least 90°F (32°C), or the use of a secondary strain can accelerate attenuation.
