Brewing Properties:

* London ESB yeast is best used at a fermentation temperature range of 18-22C (65-72F).

Fermentation is generally completed in 3-5 days dependent on recipe and process conditions.

* Attenuation range 65-75%

* Fermentation rate, fermentation time and degree of attenuation are dependent upon inoculation density, yeast handling, fermentation temperature and nutritional quality of the wort.
