Brewer notes

American Ale II is a liquid ale culture from Wyeast (1272). Fermentation character can show fruity, nutty, and clean notes. Useful for barley wines, brown ales, and wine. Reference guidance: attenuation guidance 72–76%, fermentation range about 16–22°C (60–72°F), alcohol tolerance around 9%. Treat temperature, attenuation and alcohol tolerance as strain guidance; wort composition, pitch health and fermentation management still affect the result.
