American Ale Wyeast WY1056
Fermentation Temp Range (F): 60-72 Apparent Attenuation Range (%): 73-77 Flocculation: Medium-Low Alcohol Tolerance: 11%
Pitching/Fermentation: Produces diacetyl and fusels if the fermentation range is over 71F or excessively underpitched. Poor attenuation if fermenting below 60F. Serial pitching will result in an extremely (88%+) attenuative yeast after 6-7 generations. Mild citrus notes develop with cooler (60-66F) fermentations.
Notes: This yeast is famous for its clean flavors, balance, and ability to be used in almost any style ale. It accentuates the hop flavors and is extremely versatile. Low fruitiness, mild ester production. Normally requires filtration for bright beers.
