JY208 - Burton

Sourced from Burton upon Trent, this Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain produces nice apple/pear notes with hard candy esters. Finishes clean and malty.  Whether you’re brewing a hoppy IPA, a robust porter, or a sessionable bitter, Burton delivers timeless character with every pint. This yeast likes water of a high mineral content, and is better suited for higher gravity ales compared to some other British yeasts. Closely related to JY028, a little less robust with more ester character.
