“Chico” is a reliable, versatile and popular neutral foundation for displays of malts and hops. Highly attenuative and moderately flocculating, it ferments crisp and clean with light citrus notes under 66°F (19°C). Also try DIPA (OYL-052) or British I (OYL-006) to highlight hops more, or Scottish Ale (OYL-015) for malt displays.
Omega Yeast's metabolically healthy cells produce vigorous fermentation and consistent results for home brewers and pro-brewers alike.
