CellarScience English Ale Yeast – 12 g

Why Brewers Love It

English Ale Yeast from CellarScience is a go-to for brewers seeking a clean fermenting, English-style ale yeast that delivers a neutral aroma and dry finish. It settles fast and forms a compact sediment which helps with clarity and conditioning.

Flavor Profile

Expect mild malt character, subtle esters, and no dominant phenolics. The finish is clean and dry, allowing hops, malt, or adjuncts to shine through without yeast overtone.

Best Uses

• English-style ales: Pale ales, bitters, milds, ESBs.
• British and American hybrids: Styles where neutral, clean yeast allows hop or malt features to stand out.
• Dark ales & porters: Where yeast shouldn’t obscure roast, chocolate, or hop notes.

Brew Tips

• Ferment on the lower end of the range (59-65 °F) for a cleaner profile; push toward 70 °F for more ester expression.
• Use direct pitch (sprinkle) or rehydrate for high-gravity brews for more consistent performance.
• Because of the very high flocculation, yeast drops out quickly — allow time for conditioning or cold-crash if clarity is important.
