About
Commonly referred to as chico" this yeast is a craft brewing standard. This strain is the go-to for craft brewers, highly popular- this strain performs well at standard ale temperatures but can be used in the low 60s to produce exceptionally crisp ales. Flocculation is in the middle of the road and will typically require filtration or fining to achieve crystal clear beers.
