This yeast does not attenuate very well so we purposely mash at a low temperature (64C/148F). The yeast is also highly flocculant (likes to settle out) so giving the bottom a gentle stir once a day during fermentation can help it from falling out too soon.

Cool wort to 19C (66F) and aerate well. Ferment at 19-20C (66-68F) until complete. Dry hop as soon as krausen starts reducing. This yeast drops brilliantly clear without need of any clarifiers.
