LalBrew BRY-97 (West Coast Ale)
Classic West Coast Character • Fuller Malt Body • Brilliantly Clear Beer
LalBrew BRY-97 is an American West Coast ale strain prized for clean fermentation with a slightly fuller body than other American yeasts, plus a knack for accentuating hop character. Drawn from the Siebel Institute culture collection, it has long been a brewery favorite for pale ales and IPAs that drink smooth yet finish bright.
With 80% attenuation and high flocculation, BRY-97 ferments thoroughly and then drops out of suspension decisively, producing clear beer with minimal conditioning time.
Flavor & Aroma Profile
- Clean, neutral American fermentation profile
- Slightly fuller, rounder malt presence than US-05
- Accentuates hop flavor and aroma
- Low ester production with a faint stone-fruit hint
- Smooth, balanced finish
At cooler temperatures BRY-97 is crisp and transparent; warmer fermentations bring a gentle fruitiness while preserving its hop-friendly character. Note that it can start slowly — give it 24–48 hours before worrying.
Brewing Applications
LalBrew BRY-97 is a staple ingredient in many American ale styles, including:
- West Coast IPA
- American Pale Ale
- American Amber Ale
- American Brown Ale
- American Stout
- American Barleywine
It is also an excellent house strain for brewers who want clear, polished beer without filtering or finings.
Usage Recommendations
Pitch one 11 g sachet into 5 gallons of standard-gravity wort, fermenting at 59–72°F. Cooler fermentations maximize crispness and clarity, while the warm end speeds things along and adds a soft fruity note.
Its high flocculation pairs beautifully with classic citrus and pine hops like Cascade, Centennial, and Chinook — the beer falls bright, and the hops stay vivid.
Specifications
- Attenuation: 80%
- Flocculation: High
- Fermentation Temperature: 59–72°F
- Format: 11 g dry sachet
- Beer Styles: West Coast IPAs, pale ales, ambers, browns, stouts
Whether you're crafting a piney West Coast IPA, a balanced amber, or any American ale that should pour brilliantly clear, LalBrew BRY-97 delivers clean fermentation with a touch more body and a lot more polish.
