Fermentis Dried Yeast Info

[Hutch]

I'm sure most of you have already seen these, but I've linked a couple of (company sponsored) analyses of Fermentis dried yeast. The attenuation and alcohol tollerance sections are interesting, but the most interesting thing for me was the small section talking about hung fermentation. Apparently because they're raised on glucose and sucrose, the yeasts aren't too keen to ferment maltose, so if you're brewing a high sugar beer you should step it up on a maltose rich medium, e.g. wait a day or so before pitching the sugar.
