White Labs WLP820 Oktoberfest Lager yeast

Description

White Labs WLP820 Oktoberfest Lager yeast

This strain is ideal for producing malty lagers. Residual sweetness further helps promote malt nuances while contributing to a balanced finish. This yeast does not finish as dry as WLP830 German Lager. The first generation of this strain can be slow, so we encourage using a larger initial culture or scheduling longer fermentation and conditioning times. Great for lagers with a wide gravity range including bocks, doppelbocks, märzens, Oktoberfests and American amber lagers.
