BIG BEN: The High Flocculation, Malt-Forward Ale Yeast

BIG BEN, just like its iconic namesake, is big in all the right ways. Known for its exceptional flocculation, this yeast settles quickly, leaving your beer bright and clear. With impressive alcohol tolerance (comfortably fermenting beers up to 12% ABV) and high attenuation, BIG BEN provides professional-grade performance for craft brewers.

🍺 Styles & Flavor Profile: Neutrality that Shines

BIG BEN is proudly malt-forward, allowing your grain bill and chosen ingredients to truly shine through. Its neutral profile enhances malt sweetness and hop character without imposing its own flavors, resulting in clean, crisp beers with remarkable clarity.

Ideal for a Wide Variety of Ale Styles

BIG BEN’s versatility and clean fermentation make it perfect for a broad range of beers where visual appeal and a neutral base are essential:

• Pale Ales & IPAs
• ESBs & Amber Ales
• Porters & Stouts
• Blonde Ales
