Yeast

London ESB

Form:
Liquid
Lab:
Wyeast
Number:
1968
Min Temp:
64
Max Temp:
72
General Type:
English Ale
Notes:
A very good cask conditioned ale strain, this extremely flocculant yeast produces distinctly malty beers. Attenuation levels are typically less than most other yeast strains which results in a slightly sweeter finish. Ales produced with this strain tend to be fruity, increasingly so with higher fermentation temperatures of 70-74°F (21-23° C). A thorough diacetyl rest is recommended after fermentation is complete. Bright beers are easily achieved within days without any filtration.
