PurePitch Next Generation
PurePitch Next Generation contains twice as much yeast in a convenient 70 ml pack, so that you pitch 7.5 million cells/ml every time. 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 WLP802 Czech Budejovice Lager Yeast
What temperature should WLP802 ferment at?
The ideal fermentation temperature is 10–13 °C. For that you need a fridge or 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 you should consider two packs or a yeast starter.
Which beers is WLP802 suited for?
The yeast is made for Czech pilsner and other dry, crisp pilsners where the hop bitterness should come through clearly.
Do I need a diacetyl rest?
WLP802 produces little diacetyl, which makes conditioning easy. A little diacetyl is true to style in Czech pilsner, but many brewers still raise the temperature a few degrees towards the end of fermentation.
