Wyeast 1007 German Ale™
Wyeast 1007 German Ale™
Ferments dry and crisp, leaving a complex but mild flavor. Produces an extremely rocky head and ferments well down to 55F.
Notes
Mash @ 158° for 1 hour. Variation of this is to use Perle Hallertau and Crystal hops for a crisper lager-like flavor Also Substitute zest of a lemon for 1 orange and reduce the Corriander by 1/2 oz Also fine to use wyeast 1056 for a clearer crisper version of this.
