Description
A bred hybrid rather than a found strain: Saccharomyces cerevisiae crossed with S. eubayanus by non-GMO methods to make a bottom-fermenting pastorianus that still works at 20 °C. It is the answer to the lager brewer with no cold room — clean, low in diacetyl, and fast enough to finish in under a week at 12 °C.
