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 started with Newcastle Brown as a target but the recipe has grown a little with each brewing. I’ve experimented with the grain bill, the yeast but kept Kent Goldings as my hops of choice. This one will put a silly looking smile on your face after every pint.
