White Labs 686 Zygosaccharomyces Lentus
$9.95
This strain of non-conventional brewing yeast is a maltose negative strain of yeast ideal for low alcohol beers. This species does not ferment maltose or other larger sugars and will only ferment the glucose, sucrose, and fructose. The profile of this strain is found to be very neutral. This species is slower and might take longer to reduce sugars and lower the pH of the beer compared to other strains. Little ester production was perceived in lab scale trials.
Attenuation: 20%
Flocculation: Low
Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 68-75 ̊F (20-24 ̊C)
