Description

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