Brewing Properties
In Lallemand’s Standard Conditions Wort at 12°C (54°F) Diamond yeast exhibits:
- Fermentation that can be completed in 7 days, a bit slower than most ale strains. This is perfectly characteristic of this strain.
- Vigorous fermentation that can be completed in 5 days
- High attenuation and High flocculation
- Neutral flavour and aroma, typical of traditional lagers
- The optimal temperature range for Diamond yeast when producing traditional styles is 10°C(50°F) to 15°C(59°F)
Lag phase, total fermentation time, attenuation and flavor are dependent on pitch rate, yeast handling, fermentation temperature and nutritional quality of the wort.
