Description

This strain of non-conventional brewing yeast is a maltose negative strain of yeast ideal for low alcohol beers.

  • This species does not ferment maltose or other larger sugars and will only ferment the glucose, sucrose, and fructose.
  • The profile of this strain is found to be very neutral.
  • This species is slower and might take longer to reduce sugars and lower the pH of the beer compared to other strains.
  • Little ester production was perceived in lab scale trials.
  • Although this would be categorized as a wild yeast, this strain would not typically be considered a beer spoiler as it does not have the ability to ferment larger sugars. Using this strain to create a low alcohol beer requires a modified recipe.

Attenuation ranges will vary depending on recipe and/or mash profile
