Kolsch Yeast 2565

The Wyeast 2565 Kolsch is a yeast strain from a traditional brewery in Cologne, Germany. It is a classic, true top cropping yeast. Beers made with this yeast will exhibit some of the fruity character of an ale but with a clean lager like profile. It will produce low to no detectable levels of diacetyl. This is a powdery strain that will result in yeast that remains in suspension post fermentation, so it will require filtration or additional settling time if you desire a bright beer. It can also be used to produce quick-conditioning pseudo-lager beers and ferments well at cold temperatures ranges (55-60F). Flocculation: Low Attenuation: 73-77 Optimal Temperature Range: 56-70 F ABV: 10   Great for these Beer Styles: Kolsch American Wheat Beer Alternative Grain Beer Cream Ale Berliner Weisse Biere de Garde Altbier International Amber Lager Fruit and Specialty Fruit Beer Fruit and Spice Beer Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Wheatwine **Please note packaging may be different as Wyeast trans
