Optimal temp
20–30°C
68–86°F
The range where this strain ferments cleanly, without throwing off-flavors. Most brewers pitch near the low end.
Flocculation
High
How readily the yeast clumps together and drops clear once fermentation winds down.
Alcohol tolerance
≈14% ABV
The rough ABV ceiling where the yeast stresses out and stops fermenting.
Genetic traits
Phenolics
POF−
Ferments clean

Diastatic
STA-1−
