Species: Saccharomyces pastorianus
Profile: Used by many German breweries to produce rich, full-bodied, malty beers, this strain is a good choice for bocks and doppelbocks. A thorough diacetyl rest is recommended after fermentation is complete.
Lager-style options vary in malt emphasis, fruitiness, attenuation and temperature range. Use each strain’s own pitching and fermentation guidance. 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.
