  • White Labs WLP029 German Ale/Kölsch

    White Labs WLP029 German Ale/Kölsch

    From a small brewpub in Cologne, Germany, this yeast works great in Kölsch and Alt style beers. Good for light beers like blond and honey. Accentuates hop flavors, similar to WLP001. The slight sulfur produced during fermentation will disappear with age a

Notes

Single step mash at 150 degrees for 90 minutes. Sparge with 10 gallons @ 170 degrees. Slighly more hops than target, but I like hops. Pitch yeast at 65 degrees and let ferment at room temperature.
