How is English ale made?
English ale is made by top-fermenting yeast which ferments the maltose in the wort to alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Top-fermenting yeast used for ale is a type of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Ale yeasts tend to be less attenuative than lager yeasts, leaving behind more unfermented sugars and resulting in a sweeter, fuller-bodied beer. In order to make ales, brewers typically use a top-fermenting yeast strain that works well at warmer temperatures (60-70°F/16-21°C), which is why they are popular in England where the climate is warmer than it is in Germany or Scandinavia.
What type of yeast is used for English ales?
