Q

What is the difference between ales and lagers?

A

Ale
- a top-fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is added to the wort.
- Top-fermenting yeasts prefer warmer temperatures and result in fruity and richly flavored beers.
- Ale fermentation is quick, usually lasting less than a week

Lager
- Bottom-fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces pastorianus, formerly called Saccharomyces carlsbergensis) is used for lagers and results in a more delicate, cleaner beer.
- With bottom-fermenting yeasts, which tend to clump together at the bottom of the vessel, the fermentation process is slower and occurs at lower temperatures.
