From one of the few remaining Trappist breweries remaining in the world, this yeast produces the distinctive fruitiness and plum characteristics. Excellent yeast for high gravity beers, Belgian ales, dubbels and trippels. Attenuation: 75-80% Flocculation: Medium to low Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 65-72°F Lower temperatures (under 65) will result in less fruity and more earthy beers. Alcohol Tolerance: High
This yeast is characterized by a malty finish and balanced aroma. It is a strong fermentor, produces slight sulfur, and low diacetyl. Attenuation: 68-76% Flocculation: Medium to High Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 50-55°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium
This yeast is used to produce the "California Common" style beer. A unique lager strain which has the ability to ferment up to 65 degrees while retaining lager characteristics. Can also be fermented down to 50 degrees for production of marzens, pilsners and other style lagers. Attenuation: 65-70% Flocculation: High Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 58-65°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium-High
Classic Saison yeast from Wallonia. It produces earthy, peppery, and spicy notes. Slightly sweet. With high gravity saisons, brewers may wish to dry the beer with an alternate yeast added after 75% fermentation. Attenuation: 65-75% Flocculation: Medium Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 68-75°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium
Classic pilsner strain from the premier pilsner producer in the Czech Republic. Somewhat dry with a malty finish, this yeast is best suited for European pilsner production. Attenuation: 72-77% Flocculation: Medium to High Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 50-55°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium
This yeast produces a very malty, bock like style. It does not finish as dry as WLP830. This yeast is much slower in the first generation than WLP830, so we encourage a larger starter to be used the first generation or schedule a longer lagering time. Attenuation: 65-73% Flocculation: Medium Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 52-58°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium-High
Dry, malty ale yeast. Provides a complex, oakey ester character to your beer. Hop bitterness comes through well. This yeast is well suited for classic British pale ales, bitters, and stouts. Does not flocculate as much as WLP002 and WLP005. Attenuation: 67-75% Flocculation: Medium Ideal Fermentation Temperature Range: 66-71°F Alcohol Tolerance:Medium
This is the yeast from one of the oldest stout producing breweries in the world. It produces a slight hint of diacetyl, balanced by a light fruitiness and slight dry crispness. Great for Irish ales, stouts, porters, browns, reds and a very interesting pale ale. Attenuation: 69-74% Flocculation: Medium to High Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 65-68°F Alcohol Tolerance:Medium-High
This famous German yeast is a strain used in the production of traditional, authentic wheat beers. It produces the banana and clove nose traditionally associated with German wheat beers and leaves the desired cloudy look of traditional German wheat beers. Attenuation: 72-76% Flocculation: Low Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 68-72°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium
