Species : Ale Fermentation Temp Range (F) : 65-75 Apparent Attenuation Range (%) : 73-77 Flocculation : Medium Alcohol Tolerance : 12%
Pitching/Fermentation : Conditions beer very fast. Clean at the low end, and supposedly is pretty fruity at the warm end. Vigorous fermenter.
Notes : An excellent yeast strain for use in Belgian dark strong ales. This strain has a relatively clean profile which allows a rich malt and distinctive ethanol character to shine. Delicate dried fruit esters can be produced when used at higher fermentation temperatures or in a high gravity wort.
