Description

This Kolsch strain is warmer fermenting than Omega's Kolsch I (OYL-017), flocculates much better and clears more quickly, so it is a little easier to manage. It is a lager-like ale strain that’s lightly fruity, crisp and clean with a hint of sulfur that disappears with age to leave a clean ale. Accentuates hop flavors.
 
Attenuation: 72-78%
Flocculation: Medium
Alcohol Tolerance: 10% ABV
Optimum Fermentation Temp: 65-69°F
Cell Count: 225 Billion
 
Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.

Great yeast
Nice, quick and clears easily. I fermented at the low end, 65F and love the flavor. Watch out for the attenuation though, mine went down to 1.004, but was targeting 1.009. It's ready really quick, which is a nice perk.

Best Kolsch yeast
I have tried every Kolsch yeast I could get my hands on, and this is by far the best. Fement warmer than traditional Kolsch yeast and floc faster? Yes please. Produces a crisp, clean, clear Kolsch style ale far faster than any other Kolsch yeast! I typically ferment at 66F, keg on day 14, and it's ready to rock the next weekend.

Drops clear quick! Great kolsch strain.
I've done a couple kolsch batches in the past. But this strain kinda surprised me. It was quite drinkable after only a few days in the keg and dropped pretty clear by then. I'l typically lager a kolsch for a couple of weeks but this one turned out pretty good. Good subtle fruity character every good kolsch should have . Even stated this strain ferments slightly warmer than kolsch I, which I appreciate. I'll revisit this yeast in the future for sure.
