JY319 - Dartmoor

JY319 is a lively West Country ale yeast strain. Good for brewers that want vibrant, yeast-driven bitters. This strain brings a bold personality to the brewery with its rapid fermentation and distinctive flavor profile. JY319 produces moderate to strong esters, evoking ripe banana and tropical fruit, alongside a moderate sulfur note that fades with conditioning. It can be slightly phenolic, resulting in a hint of spice. With moderate flocculation, JY319 creates a high initial head and yields a moderately clear beer, balancing haze and clarity for a true West Country aesthetic. 

Needs soft water and is slightly phenolic. Don't go overboard with the gravity. Keep it traditional.
