Notes

First Brewed 09/2013

Our Unleash the Yeast series was an epic experiment into the differences in aroma and flavour provided by switching up your yeast. We brewed up a wort with a light caramel note and some toasty biscuit flavour, and hopped it with Amarillo and Centennial for a citrusy bitterness. Everything else is down to the yeast. American Ale used a clean fermenting strain which provides some faint fruity notes.
Play around with the fermentation temperature to get the best flavour profile from the individual yeasts.
