LalBrew New England is an ale strain selected specifically for its ability to produce a unique fruit forward ester profile desired in East Coast styles of beer. A typical fermentation with LalBrew New England will produce tropical and fruity esters, notably stone fruits like peach. Through expression of a β-glucosidase enzyme, LalBrew New England can promote hop biotransformation and accentuate hop flavor and aroma. This yeast exhibits medium to high attenuation with medium flocculation, making it a perfect choice for New England IPA’s and other hop forward beers.
The optimal temperature range for LalBrew® New England yeast when producing traditional styles is 15°C(59°F) to
22°C(72°F).
Lag phase can be longer when compared with other strains, ranging from 24-36 hours.
