Description
The old Prise de Mousse, and still the fastest and most neutral strain in the range: it starts quickly, ferments to dryness anywhere between 10 and 35 °C and holds to 16 % alcohol. The default pitch for priming a strong ale in bottle, for a seltzer base, and for restarting a fermentation that has quit.
