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
Started 1 yeast tube ~24 hours in advance in 1/2 gallon (growler) of 1.050 wort made from light pilsen dry extract. Chilled starter~ 3 hours before racking to settle yeast out. Mashed at 150F for 1 hour. Mash drifted to 148F by end of hour. Drained off wort, batch sparged up to 11 gallons. Boiled for 1 hour, chilled and racked to primary. ~10 gallons of 1.050 wort. Decanted ~75% of starter off, swirled yeast, split and added to fermenters (fermented in 2X 5 gallon glass carboys). Fermentation started within 5 hours of pitching yeast. ---------------------------- Gravity was 1.012 after 5 days of fermentation at ~65F. Racked to secondary. ------------------ Airlocks stopped bubbling after 5 days in secondary. --------------------
