LalBrew Köln Kölsch Style Dry Yeast, 11g [DISCONTINUED]
Lallemand has discontinued this product. Get them while you can!
LalBrew Köln ™ is ideal for brewing traditional Kölsch-style beers and other neutral ales. The neutral character of this strain accentuates delicate hop aromas while imparting subtle fruity esters. Through expression of a beta-glucosidase enzyme LalBrew Köln ™ can promote hop biotransformation and accentuate hop flavor and aroma. Colder fermentations will be more neutral in character, while warmer fermentations will have more fruit-forward ester profile.
