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. 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. Its high flocculation contributes significantly to its clarity, rapidly settling and making it ideal for styles where visual appeal matters, such as Pale Ales, ESBS, IPAs, Porters, Stouts, Blonde Ales, and Amber Ales.

BIG BEN also boasts impressive alcohol tolerance, comfortably fermenting beers up to 12% ABV, making it suitable for both session ales and higher-gravity brews. Efficient and reliable, BIG BEN consistently achieves attenuation rates up to 82%. It comfortably ferments across a wide temperature range of 55°F to 78°F, making it versatile for various ale styles.
