GigaYeast British Ale Yeast #1

This is a versatile house strain from a traditional UK brewery. Strong attenuation over a broad temperature range and low esters make this yeast perfect for a wide variety of styles. GY011 is a strong flocculator that creates a clear beer.

Representative Styles:

* Medium Gravity is 14° 16° Plato.    High Gravity is 23°- 25° Plato.

Attenuation Medium Gravity* 75% 79%

Attenuation High Gravity* 73% 75% (9.0% 9.4% ABV)

Temperature Range: 64°F 77°F

Flocculation: High

* The working temperature range represents the range at which fermentation for a given strain produces a typical attenuation- <em>not necessarily the ideal temperature for your particular beer style.</em>  As a rule of thumb, start ale yeast fermentation at 68° &#8211; 72°F and then lower or raise temp as desired.  Lager Yeast are typically fermented at 45° &#8211; 58°F.  If desired, Lager Yeast can be given a hot start at 65-68°F and then lowered to the primary temperature after active fermentation begins (10-20hrs). </p>
