1968 is a very good cask conditioned ale strain. This extremely flocculent yeast produces distinctly malty beers Attenuation levels are typically less than most other yeast strains which results in a slightly sweeter finish 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 A very good cask conditioned ale strain, this extremely flocculant yeast produces distinctly malty beers. Attenuation levels are typically less than most other yeast strains which results in a slightly sweeter finish. Ales produced with this strain tend to be fruity, increasingly so with higher fermentation temperatures of 70-74°F (21-23° C). A thorough diacetyl rest is recommended after fermentation is complete. Bright beers are easily achieved within days without any filtration.

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.
