Description

Escarpment Laboratories Cerberus Yeast

This enigmatic strain has proven itself in many breweries who use it alone or paired with Vermont Ale to produce fruit-forward, hoppy beers. Cerberus yeast will produce and enhance tropical fruit flavours. If used alone, it is recommended to have a highly fermentable wort. This strain is non-phenolic, but contains the STA1 gene potentially resulting in diastatic activity. However, we have not typically seen aggressive attenuation with this strain.
