Just like its namesake implies, this is a wonderful yeast for making Munich Helles lagers, as well as other lager beers! Munich Helles yeast from White Labs creates malty yet balances lagers, and as such is a versatile yeast strain. It ferments nicely in the recommended temperature range, producing little sulfur and cleaning up well. It can be used on a range of traditional German lagers, and is good for American lagers and makes a surprisingly good rauchbier! This yeast has fans who swear by it as a house lager strain, or as their absolute favorite for making Munich Helles.

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!
