Brewer notes

Workhorse is a liquid ale culture from Imperial Yeast (B51). Fermentation character can show clean notes. Useful for stouts, saisons, and Belgian ales. Reference guidance: attenuation guidance 72–77%, fermentation range about 18–24°C (65–75°F), alcohol tolerance around 13%. Treat temperature, attenuation and alcohol tolerance as strain guidance; wort composition, pitch health and fermentation management still affect the result.
