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.
Notes
Took First Place in the Smoked/Wood Aged Beer Category at the 2008 Bluebonnet Brew-Off. Use Carafa Special (dehusked).
