Brewer notes

Zygosaccharomyces Lentus is a liquid ale culture from White Labs (WLP686). Fermentation character can show neutral and estery notes. Choose it when its fermentation profile fits the intended beer rather than substituting by attenuation alone. Reference guidance: attenuation guidance 20–20%, fermentation range about 20–24°C (68–75°F), alcohol tolerance around 18%. Treat temperature, attenuation and alcohol tolerance as strain guidance; wort composition, pitch health and fermentation management still affect the result.
