Imperial Yeast: B64 Napoleon

Perfect yeast strain to ferment your saison nice and dry, with a balanced spicy and fruity profile.

This yeast is an insane wort attenuator. Napoleon will destroy the sugars in your saison and farmhouse beers – even the ones in which most brewer’s strains have no interest. When all is said and done, Napoleon produces very dry, crisp beers with nice citrus aromas. Yeast settling times can be long, usually requiring filtration for bright beers.

• TEMP: 65–78F (18–26C)
• FLOCCULATION: LOW
• ATTENUATION: 77–83%
• ALCOHOL TOLERANCE: 12%

This strain tests positive for the STA1 gene via PCR analysis and is therefore considered to be Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus
