GY128: British Haze
Attenuation Medium Gravity* 71-75%
Attenuation High Gravity* 71%-75%
Temperature Range† 65-74F
Flocculation Medium/High
Description: One of the most widely used yeast strains for New England IPA’s. A slightly sweet finish and light, fruity flavor provides the perfect canvas for hazy beers as well as traditional, malt-forward ales. Beers fermented with this strain will finish with a pronounced body and a soft mouthfeel.
Representative Styles: New England IPA, American IPA, English IPA, Bitter, Brown Ale
* Attenuation was measured after 8 days with Ale yeast at 70˚F and Lager yeast at 50˚F. Medium Gravity is 14˚ – 16˚Plato. High Gravity is 23˚- 25˚Plato.
† The working temperature range represents the range at which fermentation for a given strain produces a typical attenuation- not necessarily the ideal temperature for your particular beer style. As a rule of thumb, start ale yeast fermentation at 68˚ – 72˚F and then lower or raise temp as desired. Lager Yeast are typically fermented at 45˚ – 58˚F. If desired, Lager Yeast can be given a “hot start” at 65-68˚F and then lowered to the primary temperature after active fermentation begins (10-20hrs).
