Description
Gulo Ale is the latest creation to emerge from the curious minds of our R&D team. The progeny of Irish Ale (OYL-005) and French Saison (OYL-026), this true genetic hybrid is a beast at devouring sugars, which creates a very dry beer without any of the peppery, clove phenolics associated with saisons and Belgian ales. Expect a citrus-forward aroma with hints of peach and a clean finish. Gulo Ale excels in any style where a high level of attenuation is desired without phenolics. We love using it in an IPA (including a brut IPA), stout, or Bière de Garde. Non-phenolic.

Brewing Properties of GULO ALE
The functional properties of brewing yeasts have a direct impact on the performance, quality and economics of the resulting beer.
| Alcohol Tolerance The alcohol tolerance determines the ABV at which yeast cells go dormant and stop fermenting. |
12% |
|---|---|
| Attenuation Attenuation refers to the percentage of sugars converted to alcohol and carbon dioxide, as measured by specific gravity. |
85-90% |
| Flocculation Flocculation refers to the tendency of yeast to form clumps called "flocs" that drop in order to make the beer clear. |
Medium |
| 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. |
68-77° F (20-25° C) |
