Description

  • 1318 has become synonymous with the production of New England IPAs and balances well with tropical fruit-forward hops
  • Has a fruity, very light and softly balanced palate. Finishes slightly sweet
  • Activator Smack-Pack System™ "proofs" the yeast and shortens lag time when it hits your wort
  • When smacked, the Activator™ packet releases sugars and nutrients to initiate the culture's metabolism
  • Wyeast has been a pioneer in craft brewing for over 35 years and is committed to creating the finest fermentation products available
  • Although beneficial, cultures do not need to be activated prior to inoculation

The London Ale III strain is an excellent universal English ale strain.  Accentuating malt character, as a true English strain should, this yeast will proide a well rounded ale profile.

For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast.
 

Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.

Perfect Hazy IPA yeast
Crazy active fermentation with my Hazy IPA. See picture ( I made a video too that really shows the aggressive fermentation off gasing).

Slow but thorough
Second time I have used this yeast. First time was for a British IPA and this time I used it for the Habro Hazy IPA. I forgot how much slower the yeast is at fermenting than the American Ale yeasts I typically use. I took a full two weeks, but the batch did hit the expected final gravity and a bit more, so I am happy. The beer is conditioning now, but initial taste test have me very excited for the end result.

Be sure to keep the temperature above 65.
These guys died out a little early though I admit I was not perfect at maintaining the suggested temperature.

Great yeast for NEIPA
I’ve tried a few of the equivalent yeasts to this one and 1318 always ferments consistently, with a clean, fruity flavor. My go to yeast for NEIPA. Just make sure to let it finish!

This yeast used in a starter brought the old ale I brewed to its expected final gravity of 8.5%.

Not sure why it would not activate.
Slap pack did not activate yeast. Tried a yeast starter for it as I do with all my yeasts and still didn't activate, had to use an alternate yeast for my NEIPA. Been a MoreBeer customer for 17 years and this was a very rare occurrence.
