Imperial YeastA09Pub
Imperial YeastA09Pub
Brewers swear by this strain to achieve super bright ales in a short amount of time. One of the most flocculent brewer’s strains around, Pub will rip through fermentation and then drop out of the beer quickly. Pub produces higher levels of esters than most domestic ale strains. Be sure to give beers made with Pub a sufficient diacetyl rest.
Notes
Gypsum & Burton Salts added to mash. Mash was done for 120 minutes at ~170-180 degrees F. - Nice body, agressively-balanced hops. Definitely a "Northwest-style" Octoberfest ale. This was a definite favorite at our 2001 homebrew Oktoberfest.
