“VIGOROUS AND MALTY”

By: William Hellmuth | Date: Oct., 10th 2014 | Beer(s) Brewed:Schwarzbier, Oktoberfest

 

I used this to brew a Schwarzbier and an Oktoberfest. I prepared a 2L starter, fermentation took off in less than 12 hours, and I was surprised at how vigorous it was for a lager yeast. I fermented at about 52F, diacetyl rest at 65F, and lagered at 30F. Both the schwarzbier and oktoberfest are incredible. Probably two of the best beers I've ever brewed. I got about 76% attenuation, and clarity is excellent.

This yeast definitely accentuates the malt flavor. I detect almost no hop aroma/flavor in my beer (which is perfect for the styles I brewed). If you want a yeast that will bring out the delicious complexities in your malt bill, this is it. I've found my house lager strain!
