Type

Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Origin

First isolated from the University of California, Davis Campus.

Rate of fermentation

UCD 522 is a medium rate fermenter with an optimum temperature range of 16–30 °C (60-85 °F). UCD 522 displays a short lag phase within this temperature range.

Nitrogen requirement

UCD 522 is technically a moderate nitrogen consumer, displaying a nitrogen requirement similar to Maurivin strain AWRI 796. For potentially high alcohol, low solids fermentations, two to three addi
