Allows the brewer to leave residual sweetness in the beer.

This is not an indication of deterioration if the package is less than 6 months old and has been properly handled. This is result of trace amounts of nutrients, still available at the time packaging, causing small amount of culture activity and CO2 production. Some strains are more prone to this than others.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Northern Brewer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13610960093242,"sku":"Y2000","price":2.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0114\/5919\/9034\/products\/wyeast-liquid-yeast_beer_94a4cc32-de55-45b6-8e16-e973dbc0860b.jpg?v=1552674760","url":"https:\/\/northernbrewer-staging.myshopify.com\/products\/wyeast-budvar","provider":"Northern Brewer Staging","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
