Brewer Notes

Fermoale AY4

Versatile American ale yeast for APA, IPA, brown ale, porter, and other American- and English-style ales.

Why Brewers Use It

AEB Fermoale AY4 is a dry top-fermenting ale yeast selected for versatility across American- and English-style ales. AEB describes it as a classic Californian yeast strain. It delivers high attenuation with a clean, balanced finish, light malty character with a touch of citrus, and mild ester expression that keeps hop and malt character in the foreground.

Pro Brew Notes

AY4 is a strong choice for breweries that want one dependable ale strain across a range of brands, from session pale ales through high-gravity imperial styles. Its high flocculation helps beers clear at the end of fermentation, so brewers moving from a lower-flocculating strain may want to review dry-hop and diacetyl-rest timing on the first batch.

Best Fit

Best suited for hop-forward and balanced American ale programs where brewers want high attenuation, a clean neutral finish, and strong end-of-fermentation clarity from a single dry house strain.
