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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eAttenuation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 67-71%\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eFlocculation:\u003c\/strong\u003e High\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9%\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eOptimum Fermentation Temp:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64-72°F\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eCell Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 Billion\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eStyles:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tEnglish Barleywine\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tEnglish IPA\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tExtra Special\/Strong Bitter (English Pale Ale)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tFruit Beer\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tMild\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tOld Ale\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSouthern English Brown\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSpecial\/Best\/Premium Bitter\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSpice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tStandard\/Ordinary Bitter\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tWood-Aged Beer\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cb\u003eFor best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong class=\"editor-text-bold\"\u003ePlease Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold.
