Wyeast's German Ale strain has a wide temperature range and can ferment down to 55°F. Maltiness is accentuated, though some mild fruitiness can be expected at higher temperatures. Beers using this strain mature rapidly, even when fermenting cool. This German ale strain is less flocculant than many ale strains and may stay in suspension for longer than a British or American strain. A good choice for a wide range of German Ales.
