Beer Yeast, Starters & Nutrients

Wyeast | 1968 London ESB Ale | Beer Yeast | Activator Smack-Pack System™ | 100 Billion Cells

    Description

    • 1968 is a very good cask conditioned ale strain. This extremely flocculent yeast produces distinctly malty beers
    • Attenuation levels are typically less than most other yeast strains which results in a slightly sweeter finish
    • Activator Smack-Pack System™ "proofs" the yeast and shortens lag time when it hits your wort
    • When smacked, the Activator™ packet releases sugars and nutrients to initiate the culture's metabolism
    • Wyeast has been a pioneer in craft brewing for over 35 years and is committed to creating the finest fermentation products available
    • Although beneficial, cultures do not need to be activated prior to inoculation

    A very good cask conditioned ale strain, this extremely flocculant yeast produces distinctly malty beers. Attenuation levels are typically less than most other yeast strains which results in a slightly sweeter finish. Ales produced with this strain tend to be fruity, increasingly so with higher fermentation temperatures of 70-74°F (21-23° C). A thorough diacetyl rest is recommended after fermentation is complete. Bright beers are easily achieved within days without any filtration.

    Attenuation: 67-71%
    Flocculation: High
    Alcohol Tolerance: 9%
    Optimum Fermentation Temp: 64-72°F
    Cell Count: 100 Billion

    Styles:
    English Barleywine
    English IPA
    Extra Special/Strong Bitter (English Pale Ale)
    Fruit Beer
    Mild
    Old Ale
    Southern English Brown
    Special/Best/Premium Bitter
    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer
    Standard/Ordinary Bitter
    Wood-Aged Beer

    For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast.

    Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.
