Description
The conditioning strain, not a primary one: it cannot metabolise maltotriose, so it eats the priming sugar and leaves the beer’s own character untouched, then settles into a mat tight enough to pour past. Rated to 12–14 % ABV in cask and bottle and to 18 % in cider and mead, which is what the attenuation band here describes — simple sugars, not wort. It is also a killer yeast, so keep it away from your other cultures.
