Southern German Lager yeast from White Labs is a strong-fermenting lager yeast that produces a clean malt character in lagers that turns out beautiful and delicous! This strain can accentuate malt complexity in your grain bills, bringing out the wonderful grain flavors of your lager beers. Hop character comes through in the background with this strain, whereas maltiness is the main star of the show! It tends to clear very well, leaving a very clean and clear beer after fermentation. As with many lager strains, a diacetyl rest is recommended near the end of fermentation to help reduce diacetyl in the final product. Many people report tremendous results with this yeast, making many lagers, from light German pilsners and Munich Helles, all the way through to Vienna Lagers, Oktoberfest/Marzens, Doppelbocks, Eurpoean-style dark lagers and schwarzbier. A great house lager strain!
