Wyeast's German Ale strain has a wide temperature range and can ferment down to 55°F. Maltiness is accentuated, though some mild fruitiness can be expected at higher temperatures. Beers using this strain mature rapidly, even when fermenting cool. This German ale strain is less flocculant than many ale strains and may stay in suspension for longer than a British or American strain. A good choice for a wide range of German Ales.
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!
