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.

Fermentation rate, fermentation time and degree of attenuation are dependent on inoculation density, yeast handling, fermentation temperature and nutritional quality of the wort.
