Attenuation

The share of sugars the yeast ferments out. Higher attenuation means a drier, stronger beer.
Optimal temp
20–32°C
68–90°F
The range where this strain ferments cleanly, without throwing off-flavors. Most brewers pitch near the low end.
Flocculation
Medium
How readily the yeast clumps together and drops clear once fermentation winds down.
Alcohol tolerance
≈16% ABV
The rough ABV ceiling where the yeast stresses out and stops fermenting.
Genetic traits
Phenolics
