Brewer notes
London ESB Ale is a liquid ale culture from Wyeast (1968). Fermentation character can show fruity notes. Useful for IPAs, bitters, milds, and brown ales. Reference guidance: attenuation guidance 67–71%, fermentation range about 18–22°C (64–72°F), alcohol tolerance around 8%. Treat temperature, attenuation and alcohol tolerance as strain guidance; wort composition, pitch health and fermentation management still affect the result.
