Description

Straight outta Cologne. Gustav is all about fermenting traditional Kölsch style beers. Very clean with slight peach and white wine aromatics, this strain is crisp and bright. Being a chain-forming yeast, it will float to the top of the wort during fermentation. Additionally, this yeast strain is low floccing and will take a while to clarify on its own.
