Wyeast 1026-PC British Cask Ale
A great yeast choice for any cask conditioned British Ale and one that is especially well suited for IPA’s and Australian ales. Produces a nice malt profile and finishes crisp & slightly tart. Low to moderate fruit ester producer that clears well without filtration.
Notes
add 2 ounces of toasted white oak chips for 1 week or longer depending on the taste. and add 2 teaspoons vanilla set for 2 weeks in secondary
