Brewing Yeast

Yeast is the living organism that converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide during fermentation. Different yeast strains produce different flavors, aromas, and alcohol tolerance levels, making yeast selection crucial for beer style and character.

This strain was originally sourced from a now defunct brewery on the banks of the river Thames outside of Oxford, England. Thames Valley II produces crisp, dry beers with a rich malt profile and moderate stone fruit esters. This attenuative strain is also highly flocculent resulting in bright beers not requiring filtration. A thorough diacetyl rest is recommended after fermentation is complete.
