Wyeast 1026-PC British Cask Ale™
“A great yeast choice for any cask conditioned British ale style, and especially well-suited for hoppy bitters, IPAs and Australian ales. A good attenuator that clears readily. Low to moderate ester production in fermentation, letting malt and hops come through, finishes crisp and slightly tart.”
Vital stats:
Attenuation – 74-77%
Flocculation – Medium-High
Optimum Ferment Temp. – 63-72°F
Alcohol Tolerance – 9% ABV
Manufactured January – March. Could be available through October.
