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 generally use a secondary fermentation process when I make this Ale. I also use 2 packets of dry yeast instead of liquid yeast. For bottling, use only Dry Malt Extract and just a small amount of corn sugar, (usually a 2:1 ratio). I also use pint mason jars for bottling this brew, adds a little mystery to what you and your friends are drinking. Best of all, just enjoy it.
