Description
Wild saccharomyces yeast strain known to produce a huge citrus fruit ester profile. Citrus cranks out orange and lemon aromas along with some tropical fruit. Use this strain at high temps for big ester production. A wild saccharomyces strain, it will get a bit funky without the worries of a brettanomyces strain. Keep an eye on your fermentations, it does like to hit a false terminal and then slowly finish out the rest of fermentation. This strain tests positive for the STA1 gene via PCR analysis and is therefore considered to be Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus

| Attenuation Attenuation refers to the percentage of sugars converted to alcohol and carbon dioxide, as measured by specific gravity. |
74-78% |
| Flocculation Flocculation refers to the tendency of yeast to form clumps called "flocs" that drop in order to make the beer clear. |
Low |
| Optimal Temperature The optimal temperature is the range in which the yeast performs best without putting off any off-flavors. Pitching the yeast into wort usually happens at the low end of the temperature range. |
