Product details

True top cropping yeast strain from a traditional brewery in Cologne, Germany. Beers will exhibit some of the fruity character of an ale, with a clean lager like profile. It produces low or no detectable levels of diacetyl. May also be used to produce quick-conditioning pseudo-lager beers and ferments well at cold 55-60°F range. This powdery strain results in yeast that remain in suspension post fermentation and requires filtration or additional settling time to produce bright beers. However, if you lack the equipment to brew a true lager, the Kolsch strain is a fantastic alternative for lager-like recipes.

*NOTE:*During summer months, we include complimentary ice packs with all liquid yeast orders. However, it is difficult to guarantee that the ice packs will stay frozen given transit times and particularly hot temperatures. For this reason, we recommend ordering dry yeast during summer months.

Slow start then kablooey!

Used this for my NB Kolsch extract kit. Pitched the yeast but noticed no activity for almost 24 hours. Super weird for a liquid yeast in my admittedly limited experience. Then it started bubbling. Then for the next two days, it blew out my airlock! Still lots of foam after fermentation finished. Swirling helped to break down the foam cap. Haven't tried it tasting the brew yet but everything smells fine. Got a nice settled layer at the bottom.

Great yeast for a great beer kit.

Used this yeast to make a starter to use with the Kölsch extract kit. It has turned out to be my favorite kit that I’ve made so far...and I’ve made over 20 different kits!

Great kolsch yeast..must keep your fermentation temp within the temperature range of the yeast

This is the first liquid yeast I have used, and I was nervous. No need to be. No starter needed (unless you've sat on it for a few months). Really easy to use slurry. Just bring to room temp for a few hours before you pitch. Shake, and pitch. That's it. Really active too - airlock was bubbling nicely just 5 hours later.
