Easily the most widely used lager strain in the world. This yeast produces a distinct malty profile with some ester character and a crisp finish. It is also a versatile strain; perfect for lagers or Pilsners with fermentations in the 45-55°F range. It may also be used for Common beer production with fermentations at 65-68°F. A thorough diacetyl rest is highly recommended after primary fermentation is complete and before the lagering phase.
*NOTE:*During summer months, we include complimentary ice packs with all liquid yeast orders. However, it is difficult to guarantee that the ice packs will stay frozen given transit times and particularly hot temperatures. For this reason, we recommend ordering dry yeast during summer months.
