German Lager X is a highly sought-after yeast strain that White Labs occasionally brings out of their yeast vault. With origins in a famous Bavarian monastery, German Lager X can be used for making true-to-style traditional malty German Lagers, such as helles, Oktoberfests, bocks and dunkels. It creates a smooth, creamy and malty beer, with a low sulfur production during fermentation. A number of our customers have been waiting for White Labs to re-release this strain, as they have had excellent results with it when it has been available in the past. Their long wait is over, but German Lager X will not be around for long...Get this one while it lasts!
ICE PACK INCLUDED
We include complimentary ice packs with ALL liquid yeast orders (if required), but cannot guarantee that the ice packs will stay cold during transit, and thus the yeast can potentially be exposed to hot temperatures. We highly recommend ordering dry yeast during the hot summer months or if you are ordering from a warmer climate. Many times during the winter an ice pack is not needed so we make the determination based on current temperatures and the destination!
