This strain is ideal for producing malty lagers. Residual sweetness further helps promote malt nuances while contributing to a balanced finish. The first generation of this strain can be slow, so we encourage using a larger initial culture or scheduling longer fermentation and conditioning times. Great for lagers with a wide gravity range including bocks, doppelbocks, märzens, Oktoberfests and American amber lagers.

From the Alps of southern Bavaria, this yeast produces a beer that is well balanced between malt and hop character. The excellent malt profile makes it well suited for bocks, doppelbocks, and Oktoberfest-style beers. A very versatile lager yeast, it has gained tremendous popularity for use in classic American-style lagers.

This strain makes dry and clean lagers with a light note of apple fruitiness. Sulfur and diacetyl production is minimal making this strain easy to work with and fitting for American-style lagers.

Used to ferment lager beer in one week. Ferment at room temperature; 62 to 68°F (17-20°C) under 1.0 bar (14.7 PSI) until final gravity is obtained, generally in one week. Lager the beer at 35°F (2°C), 15 PSI, for 3 to 5 days to condition. Sulfur production is strong the first two days, then disappears by day five.

From Mexico City, this strain produces clean lager beers with a crisp finish. It keeps drinkability on the forefront while allowing malt and hop flavors and aromas to be background notes. A great strain choice for light-style lagers like Vienna-style.
