Product details

Andechs German Lager (AGL) *BETA*

Available for the first time from Bootleg Biology! The cold-fermenting strain slowly conquering American craft lagers. AGL is renowned for its ease to harvest, low sulfur production, clarity and authentic taste. AGL brightens up predictable Marzen, Helles, or Pils recipes with a rich and refined flavor profile that feels new yet comfortably authentic. Ideal for Cold IPAs.

Ferment at traditional lager ferm temperatures 50F-55F (10C-13C) for 2-6 weeks with a diacetyl rest before crashing or additional lagering. Do not rush this culture. Those who respect AGL’s desire to make lovely beer at its own pace will have their patience rewarded.

Didn't ferment!

I tried this yeast, was super excited because it's normally only sold in commercial sizes.... well it didn't ferment. My OG was on point, everything was looking great.. But 5 days (the notes say to be patient)... and nothing. Northern sent me a replacement a few weeks later. Morebeer has sent me overnight replacements, so I was irked they didn't offer right away. Anyways, I pitched some Omega , and it started fermenting.
Note, I didn't use a starter for the yeast like I normally do... Definitely will do so with the replacement. Hope it works next time haha.
3 stars for yeast, I understand it is a beta... 5 stars for NB.. They replaced it.. Tried to help when I reached out.
