1028 London Ale Yeast. Rich with a dry finish, minerally profile, bold and crisp, with some fruitiness. Often used for higher gravity ales and when a high level of attenuation is desired for the style. Flocculation - medium; apparent attenuation 73-77%. (60-72° F, 15-22° C)


100 grams(3.5 oz, 7 Tablespoons) dried malt extract to 1 liter(quart) of water. Boil for 10 minutes. Cool, aerate, and pour into a sterile jar or flask with loose lid or foil cover. Incubate starter at 70-75F for 24-48 hours. Pour starter into five gallons of well-aerated or oxygenated wort at 70F.
Maintain temperature until fermentation is evident: CO2 bubble fermentation, bubbling airlock, or foaming on top of wort.
Log: Stir then seal the lid, seal in the air-lock and keep temperature between 70 + 75 degrees.
