About
A dry ale yeast from AEB Group, an Italian brewing-ingredient and processing-aid company better known in commercial brewing than in homebrew circles (distributed in New Zealand through AE Brewing). It ferments clean and neutral with medium-high attenuation, copes well with large, high-gravity grain bills, and stays low in esters at cooler temperatures. Homebrew documentation is thin, so the batch stats below are the most reliable guide.
