White Labs' Pilsner Lager Yeast is purportedly from the premier Pilsner producing brewery in the Czech Republic. As such, it is a great yeast for use in the production of European and Bohemian-style lagers, classic American pilsners and Czech pilsners, beers that are crisp and clean, with less of a sweetness and more of a refreshing dryness to them. Brewers report excellent results with this yeast, producing clean and clear pilsners with this beer. It is known as a slow starter that can take awhile to take off and finish, but the results of using this yeast properly are well worth the effort!.

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!
