Description

Wyeast 1275 Thames Valley Ale yeast

With many of the best qualities that brewers look for when brewing American styles of beer, this strain’s performance is consistent and it makes great beer. This versatile strain is a very good choice for a “House” strain. Expect a soft, clean profile with hints of nut, and a slightly tart finish. Ferment at warmer temperatures to accentuate hop character with an increased fruitiness. Or, ferment cool for a clean, light citrus character. It attenuates well and is reliably flocculent, producing bright beer without filtration.

This strain produces classic British bitters with a rich, complex flavour profile. The yeast has a light malt character, low fruitiness, low esters and is clean and well balanced.
