Old English is a classic British heritage ale yeast based on a legendary Burton style strain, developed to deliver clean, well defined ales with excellent attenuation. It is ideal for brewers who want traditional English character without excessive ester expression.

Each sachet contains 11 grams, suitable for fermenting approximately 22 litres of wort. Old English ferments efficiently to achieve a dry finish, allowing both malt and hop character to shine through clearly. Ester formation is kept deliberately low, resulting in a clean and crisp profile that suits a wide range of ale styles.

This strain is also well suited to high gravity brewing, thanks to its strong alcohol tolerance and reliable fermentation speed. Whether brewing everyday session beers or pushing into stronger territory, Old English delivers consistent results without sacrificing balance.

Inspired by centuries of British brewing tradition, this yeast is a dependable choice for producing timeless ales with clarity, structure, and depth.

Oxygenation and or rehydration for the first generation may be beneficial but is not essential.
