Description
LalBrew® House Ale is a next-generation performance yeast strain that is extremely fast and incredibly clean, making it the perfect versatile house strain to meet your home brewing needs.
Selected by our partner Escarpment Labs (ON, Canada) for its superior fermentation performance, this strain allows brewers to achieve greater efficiency with faster fermentations, shorter maturations, high stress tolerance, excellent repitchability, and quick cleanup of off-flavors like acetaldehyde and diacetyl.
LalBrew House Ale™ is suitable for a wide range of beer styles, including IPAs, Blond Ales, and Stouts, due to its neutral fermentation profile.
Please see PITCHING RATE CALCULATOR HERE
Pitching rate of 0.5-1g per litre is recommended. If fermenting wort at 20c and a SG of 1.050 2 sachets is recommended
Benefits
- Faster fermentations – to save time and space.
- Shorter maturation times – accelerated clean-up of diacetyl and acetaldehyde.
- High stress tolerance – capable of handling difficult fermentations.
- Excellent repitchability – genetically stable and proven consistency in key brewing parameters.
- High FAN uptake – more stable final product.
- Neutral flavor profile – Versatile for a wide range of ales
