JY309 - Wirral Ale

JY309 is a quintessential British ale yeast strain, sourced from a very famous classic cask-ale brewery in the Wirral, UK. This strain produces bright, hop-forward beers with a nod to classic UK pub traditions. JY309 ferments cleanly, accentuating citrusy and floral hop characters with subtle notes of biscuit and light fruit esters, evoking orange zest and grapefruit. Its versatility shines in session bitters, golden ales, and pale ales, delivering a crisp, refreshing finish with just enough malt backbone to balance bold hop profiles. Note that this yeast does best in open-fermenters, and does not like high gravities. Can easily be repitched and skimmed.
