  • Imperial Yeast A09 Pub

    Imperial Yeast A09 Pub

    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

Date:16/July/2002 I brewed this beer back in November 2001 and I tasted the last bottle today. What can I say! It is do mush better than Porter7 and a few others I have brewed. Its a treat to taste beers you keep for a while and this is one of them. So Nice!!!!!! and smooth. Ferment at 18C for 10 days and transfer to secondry for 18 days at same temp. Bottle and enjoy! Keep for 6 months if you can Cheers Ray
