FERMO BREW CITRUS
FERMO Brew Citrus is an aromatic yeast strain obtained by hybridization. Thanks to its medium nutrient requirement, this yeast strain produces a pleasant full-bodied profile even in the early phase of fermentation compared to normal brewing yeast, enabling brewers to produce alcohol-free or low-alcohol beers with elegant aromatic berry notes using the fermentation interruption method (<0.5 % vol.).
An aromatic yeast strain that imparts citrus and herbal aromas.

Remarks
FERMO BREW CITRUS enhances aroma-active thiols in the early stage of fermentation. Phenolic compounds (POF+) are produced in the later stages of fermentation. Yeast nutrients from the FERMOPLUS® range will further enhance the aroma profile. For low alcohol beers a pH correction is recommended. Despite the high alcohol tolerance FERMO BREW CITRUS produces low volumes of alcohol during fermentation making it particularly suited for brewing low and non alcohol beers.
Use
Pitching-Rate
Pitch directly into the wort in the fermenter, at pitch rate of:
25 – 50g/hl of cool wort at 11-16°C / 52-61°F
The pitch rate is dependent on the brewing process conditions and will affect the fermentation performance and the final taste profile of the beer.
High gravity, high adjunct or high acidity fermentations may require higher pitching rates and the addition of yeast nutrients.
