Description

A yeast isolated from Australia in the early 1900s, it is a clean fermenting strain well suited for many American and English beer styles.

  • Renowned Australian homebrewer, Peter Symon, researched this strain for his book Bronzed Brews and asked White Labs to acquire it from a yeast bank in London, England.
  • This historic strain was used in Australia because of its ability to ferment well in the Australian climate and Australian cane sugar.
