What yeast do New England IPAs use?
The yeast used in New England IPA is a type of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is a top-fermenting yeast. This type of yeast is often used for brewing ales, and it is known for its ability to produce high levels of esters and phenols. New England IPA brewers often use a strain of this yeast that is known as Vermont Ale Yeast. This yeast is known for its ability to produce fruity and spicy aromas, as well as for its high attenuation rate.
What type of yeast is frequently used to create hazy IPAs?
A popular yeast for creating hazy IPAs is called “Belgian Witbier yeast.” This type of yeast is known for its ability to create a cloudy appearance in beer, as well as for its characteristic spicy and fruity flavours.
Belgian Witbier yeast is often used in conjunction with other ingredients that are also known for contributing to haze, such as wheat malt and oats. When used in an IPA, Belgian Witbier yeast can help to create a brew that is both flavorful and aromatic, while also appearing slightly cloudy.
