PurePitch Next Generation
PurePitch Next Generation contains twice as much yeast in a convenient 70 ml pack, so you consistently pitch 7.5 million cells/ml. The pack is recommended for 20 litres of standard ale (OG below 1.074 and temperature above 16 °C) and gives an easy fermentation without a starter. Just twist off the top and pitch the yeast.
Frequently asked questions about WLP800 Pilsner Lager Yeast
What temperature should WLP800 ferment at?
The optimal fermentation temperature is 10–13 °C. For that you need a fridge or a fermentation chamber with temperature control.
Do I need a yeast starter?
PurePitch Next Generation is designed to be pitched without a starter in 20 litres of standard ale. Lager yeast needs almost twice as many cells as ale yeast, so for a pilsner at 10–13 °C consider two packs or a yeast starter.
Which beers does WLP800 suit?
Primarily Czech and European pilsner, but also helles, dunkel, märzen, bock and other lagers.
What does STA1 negative mean?
The yeast does not carry the STA1 gene, which allows some yeasts to break down dextrins and produce a very dry beer. WLP800 therefore gives predictable attenuation.
