BERGEN BLUESTONE LIQUID YEAST

Bergen Bluestone Yeast

• Name after the region in Norway where Lars Marius Garshol isolated a number of traditional yeast strains.
• Bergen is traditionally used in the production of Norwegian Farmhouse Ale, this strain is a fast fermenter with good attenuation, a light earthy spiciness, marked tartness and unique ester profile of orange peel.
• This strain is prone to forming incredibly large flocs unlike any other yeast we’ve seen before, yet still remains highly attenuative.
• Bergen also exhibits the ability to ferment wort over a large temperature range, 21–37º Celcius.
• At the cooler end of the range Bergen is clean; producing little to no esters and phenols. But builds a huge fruit ester profile as the temperature increases.
• These Bluestone yeast packs have about twice as much yeast as a Wyeast pack.

That means you can use one pack of Bluestone without making a starter to brew:

• 50 L batch
• 23 L lager
• 23 L strong beer with more than 1.060 gravity
• Growth Temp Range: 21-37º Celcius
• Flocculation: High
• Attenuation: 78-73%200 billion yeast cells in every pack.
