Wyeast 3766 Cider
Wyeast 3766 Cider
Crisp dry fermenting yeast with big, fruity finish. Creates a nice balance for all types of apples, pears and other fruit or fermentables. Allows fruit character to dominate the profile.
Notes
A rest at 122f is recommended due to the high wheat content. Add 1/4 of chocolate malt and you end up with dunkal wiezen. Conversion tempreture is 152f. I don't use any finings in this beer and ferment in one vessel until complete at 78f which gives a banana nose. Carapils is also a good option at 1/4lb for max. head retention. Enjoy!
