Wyeast Rogue Pacman Ale
September-December 2006 - “Pacman is
really great yeast; everything about it is good. Pacman attenuates well, is
alcohol tolerant, and it produces beers with no diacetyl if the beer is well
made. It’s very flocculent, which makes it a great choice for bottle
conditioning. I ferment almost all my beers at 60° F; once in a while for
certain styles I’ll ferment as high as 70° F, but never higher. Use lots of
oxygen, and a high pitch rate. I never repitch past the 6th generation, and I
always use Wyeast Yeast Nutrient.”
