White Labs WLP820 Octoberfest/Märzen Lager
White Labs WLP820 Octoberfest/Märzen Lager
This yeast produces a very malty, bock like style. It does not finish as dry as WLP830. This yeast is much slower in the first generation than WLP830, so we encourage a larger starter to be used the first generation or schedule a longer lagering time.

The beer is great. You need to give it some matutity say 3 months for all flavours to come through. With the current well modified german malt a single infusion at 68C. Cheers Ray Mills
