German ale yeast selected for its ability to form a large firm head when fermenting. Suitable to brew ales with low esters and can be used for Belgian type wheat beers. Its lower attenuation profile makes for beers with a good mouthfeel. This ale yeast works at a wide temperature range between 12-25°C (53.6-77°F) but ideally between 15-20°C (59-68°F). Highly flocculent.
Kölsch-style options; K-97 is a dry German-ale alternative with different settling and flavor characteristics. Compare attenuation, fermentation temperature, alcohol tolerance and the package pitching guidance before switching; these are recipe alternatives, not a claim that the cultures are identical.
