London ESB Ale
About
A very good cask conditioned ale strain, this extremely flocculent yeast produces distinctly malty beers. Attenuation levels are typically less than most other yeast strains which results in a slightly sweeter finish. Ales produced with this strain tend to be fruity, increasingly so with higher fermentation temperatures of 70-74 °F (21-23 °C). A thorough diacetyl rest is recommended after fermentation is complete. Bright beers are easily achieved within days without any filtration.

Distinctly malty with slightly sweeter finish due to lower attenuation. Fruity character increases at higher temperatures. Excellent for cask conditioning. Fuller's heritage.
