LALBREW® LONDON ENGLISH-STYLE ALE YEAST
LalBrew® London English-Style Ale Yeast is a true English ale strain selected for reliable fermentation performance and moderate ester production that lets the flavours and aromas of malt and hops shine through.
LalBrew® London was selected from the Lallemand yeast culture library and is an excellent choice not only for brewing Extra Special Bitter but for other authentic heritage UK styles like Pale Ale, Bitter and Mild. LalBrew® London may also be used in the production of Ciders.
Brewing Properties
In Lallemand’s Standard Conditions Wort at 20°C (68°F) LalBrew® London yeast exhibits:
Vigorous fermentation can be completed in 3 days
Medium attenuation and Low flocculation
Neutral to slightly fruity and ester flavour and aroma, allowing Malt aromas and flavours to shine through
The optimal temperature range for LalBrew® London yeast when producing traditional styles is 18°C(65°F) to 22°C(72°F)
LalBrew® London does not utilize the sugar maltotriose (a molecule composed of 3 glucose units).
Maltotriose is present in wort in an average of 10-15% of all malt worts. The result will be a fuller body and residual sweetness in the beer. Be advised to adjust gravities and mash temperatures according
to the desired result.
Fermentation rate, fermentation time and degree of attenuation are dependent on inoculation density, yeast handling, fermentation temperature and nutritional quality of the wort.
