Licensed from Charlie Papazian, this strain can ferment at both ale and lager temperatures, allowing brewers to produce diverse beer styles. The recipes in both Papazian’s books, The Complete Joy of Homebrewing and The Homebrewer’s Companion, were originally developed and brewed with this yeast.

Ales: Optimum cellaring temperature: 50 to 55°F (10-13°C);
Altbiers can be cellared at lagering temperatures.
Lagers: Optimum cellaring temperature: 32 to 37°F (0-3°C)

 PLEASE NOTE: This yeast has a BBD of 24/3/25 and has therefore been reduced in price. We believe this yeast will still have good viability but if you are not happy with it's performance, please contact us for a full refund.

A fairly clean strain with medium intensity and spice-like phenol production. With up to 75% attenuation, this strain produces a residual malt character. It helps balance any adjuncts resulting in increased drinkability. Slightly lower resulting pH than English or American ale strains, it creates a slightly tart refreshing beer. This strain is ideal for witbiers or Belgian table beers.

A high-gravity ale yeast that produces a dry beer with a slightly acidic finish. While fruit forward, this strain is mild on spice-like phenols. With a high alcohol tolerance upwards of 15% ABV, this strain is great for any Belgian styles ranging from a table beer to a dark strong ale.

 PLEASE NOTE: This yeast has a BBD of 3/4/25 and has therefore been reduced in price. We believe this yeast will still have good viability but if you are not happy with it's performance, please contact us for a full refund.

Clean, almost lager-like Belgian type ale yeast. Good for Belgian type pale ales and amber ales, or with blends to combine with other Belgian type yeast strains. Biscuit, ale-like aroma present. Hop flavors and bitterness are accentuated. Slight sulfur will be produced during fermentation, which can give the yeast a lager-like flavor profile.

This strain is sourced from Burton upon Trent, England which is known for pushing IPAs into the spotlight. It produces a subtle fruity ester profile which can be described as notes of apple, clover honey and pear. A background sulfur note is common with this strain. Great for use in hoppy American and English styles such as pale ales, bitters and ambers. Can also be an alternative to WLP001 California Ale Yeast®.

 PLEASE NOTE: This yeast has a BBD of 1/4/25 and has therefore been reduced in price. We believe this yeast will still have good viability but if you are not happy with it's performance, please contact us for a full refund.

Moderately clean strain with a low ester profile and less sulfur production than WLP051 California Ale Yeast.

Species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Profile: Very clean, crisp flavor characteristics with low fruitness and mild ester production. A very versatile yeast for styles that desire dominant malt and hop character. This strain makes a wonderful "House" strain. Mild citrus notes develop with cooler 60-66F (15-19C) fermentations. Normally requires filtration for bright beers.

Species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Profile: This versatile yeast ferments extremely well in dark worts. It is a good choice for most high gravity beers. Beers fermented in the lower temperature range produce a dry, crisp profile with subtle fruitiness. Fruit and complex esters will increase when fermentation temperatures are above 64°F (18°C).

Species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Profile: This yeast allows malt and hop character to dominate the profile. It ferments dry and crisp, producing well-balanced beers with a clean and neutral finish. Ferments well down to 64°F (18°C).
