LalBrew London™ is a true English ale strain selected for reliable fermentation performance and moderate ester production that lets the flavours and aromas of malt and hops shine through. LalBrew London™ was selected from the Lallemand yeast culture library, and is an excellent choice not only for brewing Extra Special Bitter but for other authentic heritage UK styles like Pale Ale, Bitter and Mild. LalBrew London™ may also be used in the production of Ciders.
LalBrew London™ does not utilise the sugar maltotriose (a molecule composed of 3 glucose units). Maltotriose is present in wort in an average 10-15% of all malt worts. The result will be fuller body and residual sweetness in beer. Be advised to adjust gravities and mash temperatures according to desired result.

A high ester-producing cider strain imparting wonderful flavour depth, revealing the full fruit potential. Makes exceptionally crisp, flavoursome and refreshing ciders.
Suitable for brewing all types of cider.
Technical Characteristics
STRAIN CLASSIFICATION: Saccharomyces cerevisiaeATTENUATION: 95 - 100%
COMPACTION: High
VIABLE YEAST CELLS: >5 x 109 cells per gram DRY WEIGHT: 93 – 96%
WILD YEAST: <1 per 106 cells
TOTAL BACTERIA: <1 per 106 cells
GMO STATUS: GMO Free
AROMA CHARACTERISTICS:
This strain promotes fruity aromas through high ester production, especially at warmer temperatures.
FLAVOUR/MOUTHFEEL CHARACTERISTICS:
Ciders fermented with this strain will finish dry and be relatively full-bodied with exceptional depth and a full-flavoured fruit character.
HIGHER ALCOHOL BEERS:
This strain has high alcohol tolerance up to 17.5% ABV.
Storage Recommendations: Store in the fridge.
A high ester-producing strain conferring fresh, floral esters, especially when fermented cool. This yeast has high alcohol tolerance and ferments well over a wide temperature range.
Suitable for all styles of mead.
Attenuation: Very High
Flocculation: High
Usage Directions: Sprinkle directly on up to 23 L (6 US Gal) of wort. For best results, ferment at 15-30 degrees C (59-86 degrees F).
Storage Recommendations: Store in the fridge.
Ensures a very good assimilation of fructose and excellent for low gravity ciders.
Delicate aromatic profile combining fresh (apple) and elaborated fruit (applesauce) notes with a balanced mouthfeel respecting cider structure.
Ingredients: Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisae), emulsifier : sorbitan monostearate (E491)
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
- Excellent settlement strength even with its sensitive to killer phenotype
- Regular kinetic
- Broad fermentation temperature spectrum: 10-30°C (50-86°F)

- Medium 2-phenylethanol and isoamyl acetate producer. Amylic notes can be enhanced especially when YAN/Sugar >1
SHELF LIFE: 4 years from production date.
For sweet and dry ciders from fresh or concentrated apple juices.
Provides an intensely fresh aromatic profile (apple, floral) with a crisp mouthfeel enhancing cider structure.
Suitable for difficult fermentation conditions and mixes with sugar syrups. Ensures a very good assimilation of fructose and excellent for low gravity ciders.
Ingredients: Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisae), emulsifier : sorbitan monostearate (E491)
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
