It is always used in conjunction with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and often with various wild yeast strains. The culture is recommended for use in wort or beer with an IBU below 10 due to its sensitivity to hop compounds.

Key characteristics of this bacteria include:
- Attenuation: 70-90%
- Flocculation: Low to High
- Alcohol Tolerance: 9%
- Optimal Fermentation Temperature: 60-95°F (15-35°C)
