JY324 - Canterbury

JY324 is a heritage English ale yeast strain. Perfect for brewers aiming to craft classic bitters with a touch of regional character, this strain offers a slow, methodical fermentation that enhances malt and hop synergy. JY324 produces moderate esters, imparting gentle notes of orchard fruit paired with low sulfur for a clean, harmonious finish. Its preference for high-mineral worts amplifies malt richness, making it ideal for Ordinary Bitters, Best Bitters, and Kentish Pale Ales. With low flocculation, JY324 forms a light fermentation head and settles minimally, resulting in a slightly hazy beer that carries a rustic, handcrafted charm. This strain’s deliberate pace and balanced profile reflect the pastoral elegance of Kent’s brewing tradition, delivering ales with depth and sessionable appeal.

Heritage English ale strain. Slow fermentation and high mineral worts are needed for fermentation. Slight haze after fermentation is normal. Keep gravity low, does not like high plato worts.
