Wyeast 1026 PC British Cask Ale

A great yeast choice for any cask conditioned British Ale and one that is especially well suited for IPA’s and Australian ales. Produces a nice malt profile and finishes crisp & slightly tart. Low to moderate fruit ester producer that clears well without filtration.

Attenuation 74-77%
Alc. Tolerance 9%
Flocculation medium/high
Temperature Range 63-72°F (17-22°C)

I see no reason why you could not use it for a bottle conditioned beer. With the medium/high flocculation I would have thought it would lend itself well to bottled beers. (that is if I understand the term flocculation being how well the sediment compacts down in the bottle)
