JY336 - Sheffield Bitter

JY336 is a heritage English ale yeast strain from a famous brewery in Sheffield. Great for sessionable, cask-conditioned bitters, this strain delivers a clean, malt-forward fermentation that embodies the working-class spirit of South Yorkshire’s steel city. JY336 produces light esters with delicate notes of biscuit and soft apple, harmonized by a crisp, slightly nutty finish that accentuates malt sweetness and moderate hop bitterness. Its preference for high-mineral worts enhances the robust malt character typical of Sheffield’s brewing heritage, making it ideal for Ordinary Bitters, Best Bitters, and English Pale Ales. 

This is a heritage yeast. Keep gravity within reason.
