Wyeast 1187 Ringwood Ale™
Wyeast 1187 Ringwood Ale™
Notorious Yeast of European origin with unique fermentation and flavor charateristics. Distinct fruit ester and high flocculation provide a malty complex profile, which clears well. Thorough diacetyl rest is recommended after fermentation is complete.
Notes
I also used a pound of American Cara-Pils, and only one pound of Belgian Biscuit. Used a slightly different hop schedule at the end also. I'm going to ferment 5 gal. on oak chips in the secondary and dry hop with 2 oz of Cascade in the keg.
