Description

Lalbrew Köln - Kölsch Ale yeast

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 flavour and aroma. Colder fermentations will be more neutral in character, while warmer fermentations will have more fruit-forward ester profile.
