Wyeast 1007 German Ale Yeast

Probable origin: Dusseldorf, Germany
Beer Style: Alt beer, American style wheat beers
Commercial examples may include: St. Stan Alt, Schlosser Alt, Frankenheim Alt, and Pinkus Alt
Unique properties: This is a true top cropping yeast with low ester formation. This yeast's broad temperature range affects styles. It will ferment cold in the 55 F (13 C) range, producing lager characteristics including sulfur production. This style is noted for its dry, crisp characteristics. Fermentation at higher temperatures (70-75 F, 21-24 C) may produce some mild fruitiness. This is an extremely poor flocculating yeast; it generally remains significantly in suspension without treatment or filtration. Pad filtration is often difficult. Brewers benefit from DE filtration or centrifuging. Beers mature fairly rapidly, even when cold fermentation is used. There is low or no detectable diacetyl.

• Attenuation: 73-77%
• Flocculation: Low
• Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 55-68 F (13-20 C)
• Alcohol Tolerance: 11% ABV

Consider adding the yeast fuel option.
BrewVint Yeast Fuel is one of the finest all-natural yeast nutrient blends available. It is an AHS exclusive, and does not contain processed nutrient salts. Its powder form is easily utilized by yeast.

BrewVint Yeast Fuel will:

• Reduce fermentation time.
• Impart no off-flavors.
• Provide nutrients often lacking in wort.
• Provide lipids and amino acids which are beneficial for yeast.
