Description
LalBrew® Köln is ideal for brewing traditional Kölsch-style beers and other neutral ales. The neutral character of this strain accentuates delicate hop aromas while imparting subtle fruity esters. Through expression of a beta-glucosidase enzyme LalBrew® Köln can promote hop biotransformation and accentuate hop flavor and aroma. Colder fermentations will be more neutral in character, while warmer fermentations will have more fruit-forward ester profile.

Direct Pitching:
Pitch the yeast directly in the fermentation vessel on the surface of the wort at or above the fermentation temperature.
Rehydrate:
Sprinkle the yeast in a minimum of 10 times its weight of sterile water (we suggest 110ml) at 25 to 30 °C. Stir gently, leave to rest for 15 minutes, then stir to suspend yeast completely. Leave it to rest for 5 minutes at 25 to 30°C, and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.
Perfect strain to ferment:
- Kölsch-style
