Wyeast's Bavarian Lager strain produces malty, rich beers, and as such is a great choice for a number of malt-forward German lagers. This yeast produces rich, malt-forward beers that clear and attenuate well. Many brewers use Bavarian Lager yeast for bock beers, Munich dunkels and Oktoberfest/Märzens with astounding results. While Wyeast recommends a diacetyl rest after fermentation, many brewers report that this yeast performs a very clean fermentation that throws little to no diacetyl. Pitching rates and temperature can affect results with this strain (or any strain, for that matter). Treat this yeast well and the results will impress the lederhosen off you!

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!
