Notes

YEAST NOTES FROM IMPERIAL WEBSITE:
Gnome is the yeast for brewing Belgian inspired beers in a hurry. This strain is extremely flocculent and drops out of the beer quickly after fermentation. Gnome produces a nice phenolic character that goes well with hops, as well as with caramel and toffee flavors. Great for Belgian ales that need to be crystal clear without filtration.

Temp: 65-75F, 18-24C// Flocculation: Med-high // Attenuation: 72-76%
