Brewing Properties
In Lallemand’s Standard Conditions Wort at 20°C (68°F) LalBrew® London yeast exhibits:
- Vigorous fermentation that can be completed in 3 days
- Medium attenuation and Low flocculation
- Neutral to slightly fruity and estery flavor and aroma, allowing Malt aromas and flavors 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 10-15% of all malt worts. The result will be fuller body and residual sweetness in beer. Be advised to adjust gravities and mash temperatures according to desired result.
