Imperial Yeast A01 House
Imperial Yeast A01 House
The best of both worlds, House is clean and allows malt and hops to shine. This strain is extremely versatile and flocculent enough to drop out of the beer quickly. Best used in American IPAs but works well in English style ales. House is clean at cold temperatures with increased esters as fermentation temperatures increase.

I know I shouldn't brag, but out of over thirty differents beers that I've brewed, this was clearly one of the best! It'll be fun to see how it is received in a local competition in the fall.
