A bottom-fermenting lager strain suitable for European lager and pilsner style beers. This yeast will produce soft, delicate and balanced beers with a dry and clean palate.
Flavour/Aroma
Classic Bohemian Pilsner strain aroma and flavour characteristics can be expected Hop and malt character will be enhanced and supported by moderate to full body. In wort with simple malt bills, delicate malt flavours will survive. Beer fermented with this strain is generally rich and chewy without being heavy at all. Light and delicately balanced beers call for this strain. Lagering periods as short as 4 weeks may produce acceptable beer but allowing it to lager for 6-8 weeks will result in beer that is richer and smoother with a more refined aroma and flavour.
Usage
Sprinkle contents directly onto a maximum of 23 L (6 US Gal) of wort.
