CRY HAVOC
This
signature strain, licensed from
Charlie Papazian
,
has the ability to ferment at both ale and lager temperatures allowing the
brewer to produce diverse beer styles.
When
fermented at ale temperatures, the yeast produces fruity esters
reminiscent of berries and apples. Hop character comes through well with
hop accented beers. Diacetyl production will be very low when proper
fermentation techniques are used.
When
fermented at lager temperatures, esters are low in high gravity beers and
negligible in other beers. Pleasant baked bread-like yeast aroma is often
perceived in malt accented lagers. Slightly extended fermentation times
may be experienced compared to other lagers. Some fermentation
circumstances may produce sulfur aroma compounds, but these will usually
dissipate with time. Good yeast for bottle conditioning.
