White Labs - German Kolsch
WLP029
From a small brewpub in Cologne, Germany, this yeast works great in Kolsch
and Alt style beers. Good for light beers like blond ale and american wheat. The slight sulfur
produced during fermentation will disappear with age and leave a super clean,
lager like ale. We have fermented this yeast at 58F and had great success. If you ferment this strain in the high fifties we recommend you make a yeast starter. The cooler ferment produced less esters (fruit character) and made a really clean kolsch almost tasted like a standard american lager. Ferment for 10-14 days in the primary.
Attenuation: 72-78%
Flocculation: Medium
Fermentation Temp: 65-69
Wyeast Equivalent: 2565 Kolsch

NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT LIQUID YEAST BE SHIPPED VIA 2-DAY AIR.
MANY CUSTOMERS ORDER YEAST SEPERATELY FROM OTHER ITEMS TO REDUCE SHIPPING COSTS. ICE PACKS ARE AVAILABLE AND RECOMMENDED DURING SUMMER.
IT IS ALWAYS ADVISABLE TO PROOF YOUR YEAST (see "YEAST STARTERS") AND/OR HAVE DRY BACKUP YEAST.
IF YOU THINK YOUR YEAST HAS BEEN DAMAGED IN TRANSIT OR ARE MAKING A HIGH GRAVITY BEER, PLEASE MAKE A YEAST STARTER BEFORE PITCHING. WE CAN REPLACE YEAST THAT DOES NOT START, BUT CANNOT REPLACE A FAILED BATCH.
