This EDME strain of yeast, which originates from the UK, is one of the oldest dried yeast strains on the market. If a recipe from the 1970s or 1980s specifies to use one or two packets of "beer yeast" or "brewing yeast", this is the yeast to use. This classic strain produces semi-sweet to sweet, full-bodied beers with a subtle and restrained fruity character. It is excellently suited for a variety of styles that call for a certain amount of residual sugars to balance against a high alcohol level. Excellently suitable for strong, medium sweet to sweet full-bodied dégustation beers such as Belgian strong ales, Belgian and English barley wines, Scottish strong ales as well as sweet and Imperial stouts, spiced beers, "winter warmers", Christmas ales and a wide variety of English ales. The yeast of choice for historic recipes such as gruit ales, heather ales, recreations of medieval to 19th century ales, cask ales and real ales.
