Clyde Yeast | Imperial Yeast L76
Scottish-Style Fermentation with Low Esters and Smooth Malt Focus
Imperial Yeast L76 Clyde is a clean, well-behaved yeast strain sourced from a traditional Scottish brewery. Known for producing malty, smooth beers with restrained ester production, Clyde is perfect for a range of styles where clarity and balance are key. It leaves just enough character to support rich malt flavors without overwhelming them—ideal for Scottish ales, bitters, porters, and brown ales.
With moderate attenuation and low flocculation, Clyde will typically finish with a rounded malt body while maintaining excellent drinkability. Although clean at standard ale temps, this strain can produce subtle fruitiness at the higher end of its range, adding gentle complexity without interfering with hop or malt profiles.

Support Fermentation with Yeast Nutrient
For optimal performance, pair this strain with a yeast nutrient such as Wyeast Yeast Nutrient. Proper nutrients help avoid stuck fermentation, improve attenuation, and boost cell health—especially important for malt-heavy or higher gravity brews.
