JY028 - Whiteshield

Step into the heart of English brewing with JY028, a classic strain that brings the soul of Burton-upon-Trent to your fermenter. Revered for its crisp, minerally profile and subtle fruit notes, this yeast crafts balanced, dry ales that let malt and hops shine. Perfect for pub-style bitters, robust porters, or hefty barleywines, JY028 delivers tradition with modern reliability. Performs better in mineral-rich water, can ferment sluggish if water is very soft. 

It ferments clean and crisp, with a mineral backbone that evokes Burton’s hard water. Expect restrained fruitiness—hints of apple or stone fruit at warmer temperatures—paired with a dry finish that keeps your beer refreshing yet bold.
