If you want to brew an authentic English Bitter Special Bitter or ESB there is no better yeast. Highly recommended

I use this for all styles except Belgian. IPA killer yeast. Attenuated as expected(slightly higher FG) but it adds depth. Something I always want around. I've had this yeast stall around 1.020 but then finish after warm up. Floculates like no other!

This is an excellent yeast for English Ales. I use it all the time in English Bitters and Porters and also in Pumpkin Beer and other styles that I want the malt to come through and have some English style esters and flavor incorporated in the final product. The yeast will leave a residual fruitiness and or tartness to the beer and has a unique yeasty ester to it. This yeast also will finish fast and ferment very quickly and then drop out in clumps in the bottom of the fermenter leaving very clear beer. Reported to be the yeast strain used in the famous Fullers Brewery.

I was a little miffed that, when it arrived, it was already 2 months old, which means it only had about 60% of the viability left. I thought, ordering through MoreBeer, that yeast turnover would be greater, so freshness would not be an issue.It did swell up after smacking. But, to be on the safe side, I made a 1/2 gallon starter. Beer fermented with no issues and is the best kit that I've made!

This is the best yeast around. Steadily ferments out in 3-4 days, and then floccs rapidly leaving crystal clear beer in days rather than weeks with 1056. Very easy strain to harvest and propagate. Forgiving of a little warmer temp than some others. I made 8 generations on my last pitch with nothing off whatsoever. Works great in pales and IPA's, just a touch of fruit ester to make the flavor profile a little more complex. Has steadily finished at 1.008-1.01 for me with a little dextrose in the wort and good oxygenation. I wish I could give it 6 stars, and someone would have told me about it when I first started brewing.

This is what I use when I know my apartment is going to be too hot for 1056. Gives you a few extra degrees without getting extra off flavors.A little more malty than 1056
