Lallemand House Ale Yeast 11g

Description

Lallemand House Ale Yeast 11g is a high-performance ale strain selected for fast fermentation, a clean flavour profile and versatility across a wide range of beer styles. Its neutral character allows malt and hop flavours to remain prominent in the finished beer.

Selected by Lallemand’s partner Escarpment Labs in Canada, this strain was chosen for strong fermentation performance, high stress tolerance and reliable brewing characteristics.

House Ale Yeast Fermentation Characteristics

House Ale is an extremely fast and clean-fermenting strain. Under Lallemand’s standard conditions using 12°P wort at 20°C, vigorous fermentation can be completed in around 3–4 days.

The strain also provides rapid clean-up of fermentation compounds such as diacetyl and acetaldehyde. As a result, maturation time can be shorter compared with slower-performing ale strains.

High attenuation provides efficient fermentation, while medium flocculation helps balance yeast settlement with reliable performance.

Suitable Beer Styles

The clean and neutral fermentation profile makes this yeast suitable for many different recipes. Lallemand highlights American IPA, Blonde Ale, Stout and Pale Ale among its applications.

Its neutral character is particularly useful when you want the malt and hops to define the finished beer rather than strong yeast-derived flavours.

This versatility also makes the strain a practical option for brewers looking for a reliable general-purpose ale yeast that can be used across several different beer styles.

Fast and Clean Fermentation

One of the key features of this strain is its combination of fermentation speed and clean flavour.

The yeast quickly cleans up compounds such as diacetyl and acetaldehyde during maturation. It also has high stress tolerance, helping it perform under more challenging fermentation conditions.

Lallemand reports excellent repitchability and genetic stability. While repitching is more relevant to commercial and advanced brewers, these characteristics demonstrate the strain’s robust fermentation performance.

Using Lallemand House Ale

Lallemand recommends a pitching rate of 50–100g/hL. Fermentation time and attenuation can vary according to pitching rate, temperature, yeast handling and the nutritional quality of the wort.
