Ringwood Ale Yeast | Wyeast 1187

Distinct English Character with Fruity Esters and Complexity

Wyeast 1187 Ringwood Ale Yeast is a classic English strain that produces beers with a rich, full-bodied profile and layered complexity. Known for its high flocculation, this strain settles out quickly and yields clear, polished beers with a smooth malt backbone. It produces noticeable fruity esters and a subtle diacetyl note, both of which contribute to the signature English ale character.

This yeast is highly versatile for a wide range of British and American styles, from bitters and pale ales to porters and stouts. For best results, brewers should conduct a proper diacetyl rest to ensure a clean finish while maintaining the yeast’s signature depth and complexity.

How We Handle and Ship Yeast

At SoCal Brewing Supply, we store all liquid yeast under strict refrigeration with 24-hour temperature monitoring to ensure freshness and viability. For best results when ordering online, we recommend adding an ice pack to your order.
