To ensure the quality and performance of this yeast strain, we have conducted extensive fermentation trials under laboratory conditions. We used a standard wort for all the strains and maintained standard temperature conditions. Our focus was on evaluating the following parameters: alcohol production, residual sugars, flocculation, and fermentation kinetic.
