Wyeast | 1318 London Ale III | Beer Yeast | Activator Smack-Pack System™ | 100 Billion Cells

    Description

    • 1318 has become synonymous with the production of New England IPAs and balances well with tropical fruit-forward hops
    • Has a fruity, very light and softly balanced palate. Finishes slightly sweet
    • Activator Smack-Pack System™ "proofs" the yeast and shortens lag time when it hits your wort
    • When smacked, the Activator™ packet releases sugars and nutrients to initiate the culture's metabolism
    • Wyeast has been a pioneer in craft brewing for over 35 years and is committed to creating the finest fermentation products available
    • Although beneficial, cultures do not need to be activated prior to inoculation

    The London Ale III strain is an excellent universal English ale strain.  Accentuating malt character, as a true English strain should, this yeast will proide a well rounded ale profile.

    Originating from a traditional London brewery, this yeast has a wonderful malt and hop profile. It is a true top cropping strain with a fruity, very light and softly balanced palate. This strain will finish slightly sweet.

        Crazy active fermentation with my Hazy IPA. See picture ( I made a video too that really shows the aggressive fermentation off gasing).

        Slow but thorough

        Second time I have used this yeast. First time was for a British IPA and this time I used it for the Habro Hazy IPA. I forgot how much slower the yeast is at fermenting than the American Ale yeasts I typically use. I took a full two weeks but the batch did hit the expected final gravity and a bit more so I am happy. The beer is conditioning now but initial taste test have me very excited for the end result.

        Be sure to keep the temperature above 65.

        These guys died out a little early though I admit I was not perfect at maintaining the suggested temperature.

        Great yeast for NEIPA

        I’ve tried a few of the equivalent yeasts to this one and 1318 always ferments consistently with a clean fruity flavor. My go to yeast for NEIPA. Just make sure to let it finish!

        This yeast used in a starter brought the old ale I brewed to its expected final gravity of 8.5%.

        Biotransformation

        The London III yeast is great for biotransformation with my hazy/juicy IPAs. The bags arrived in May with dates on the bag from March. I ordered two. They arrived partially inflated with melted ice packs but I pitched them both into my 5 gallons of wort and they worked great. Dry hopped during high krausen (and two more dry hops at the end of fermentation and after fermentation) Attenuated down to an FG of 1.010 as desired. Fruity esters and lots of good hop oils in my packaged beer!

        Love 1318

        Use for IPA's and NEIPA's. Great yeast. I make a 1200ml starter and I get activity after about 4 hours. 24 hours after pitch it's chugging hard and then slows a bit but keeps working steady. Definitely a favorite yeast.

        Make hazy baby!

        Great yeast for New England IPAs. It a classic English strain that’s good for most styles where you need that more sweet fruity character.
