London ESB may also be used in the production of Ciders.
 
In Lallemand’s Standard Conditions Wort at 68°F London ESB yeast exhibits:
  • Vigorous fermentation that can be completed in 3 days
  • Medium attenuation and Low flocculation

Is this similar to wyeast London ESB yeast?
Christopher Gaige on May 13, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Hello, thank you for your question. Reading the spec sheets, the Wyeast liquid form is a highly flocculant strain compared to the low flocculant Lallemand dry yeast. They will each attenuate about the same, however the Lallemand is a little more alcohol tolerant. They are similar in producing slight estery malt forward beers.
How does this compare to a Yorkshire yeast? I was looking at yeast 1469. I feel S04 is a very poor substitute, however it does make a fine cider.

Fast start, vigorous fermentation
Pitched a 2 liter starter into 6 gallons of 14.4 P Strong Bitter. Wort was at 70 degrees. Vigorous fermentation evident after 16 hours when observed the next morning. Awaiting final results in a few weeks. Temperature control set for 65 degrees minimum.

Explosive yeast
Made session ale: special Bitter with Lallemand English ale yeast. First time using this yeast. Room temperature is 65 -67°F, but wort was about 77F when yeast was pitched. Within 4 hours the yeast was obviously active. Awoke next morning to find it would have been wise to put a blow-by pipe to the carboy at pitching. Fermentation finished in maybe three days - light carbohydrate bill for about 3 1/2 ABV. I bottled a week after that & ale was already beginning to clear in the carboy. Had a taste at that time & expect it will be quite drinkable in two more weeks, which is much earlier than my usual experience.

3 day primary fermentation
I was worried to try powdered yeast, but I used it for what turned out to be a 6.7% ESB. I used one 11g pouch, and primary finished in 3 days.
I will definitely be using dry yeast again in the future.

There she blows
I had forgotten that I used this yeast once before for a stout & how active it is. This time used for a porter and luckily put the buckets in an extra shower - the next morning both had bubbled over and some shot up a few feet. So make sure to spread a lot of towels or put where it can make a mess. Clean out the air locks a few times if it does bubble over or it will back up with a huge amount of pressure build up.

Quick Starter!
Last beer was off an running in about 8 hours post pitch from a rehydrated packet. Finished bulk of fermentation in 2 days and almost got out of the fermenter. I have used it before, and it is a good yeast if you are looking to maintain some malty flavor in the beer. However, if you want a very clear beer you will need to cold crash and or use some finings.

Worked great in a cider. Looking forward to some ESBs.
Used it for a raspberry-cider. Dried it right out and added/kept more of a fruity flavor than previous batches where I used dry wine yeast. I’m looking forward to trying with an ESB.
