White Labs WLP830 German Lager
White Labs WLP830 German Lager
This yeast is one of the most widely used lager yeasts in the world. Very malty and clean, great for all German lagers, pilsner, oktoberfest, and marzen.
Notes
The liquid light extract is Williams Brewing's "German Pils" extract, which is quite nice. This recipe was my second batch overall, and had a very nice crisp Spalt aroma/flavor - true to style. It's been in the keg for only two weeks, and it tastes fantastic. On the next batch, I might add a little crystal malt. Very nice summer beer, I'll probably make this one again in the spring.

I brewed a very similar kolsch, but with the addition of 1/2 pound crystal 40, and it came out great.
very nice!

I brewed this one with the 1/2lb of crystal 40 and it turned out great! Will be brewing this one again soon.
