Frequently asked questions about WLP833 German Bock Lager Yeast
Which beer styles suit WLP833?
Bock, doppelbock and Oktoberfest beers, where the malt profile should shine. It is also widely used for classic American pilsner.
What temperature should WLP833 ferment at?
The optimal fermentation temperature is 9–13 °C. As a lager yeast it needs a cool, stable temperature.
Do I need a yeast starter?
PurePitch Next Generation is designed to be pitched straight from the pack. Lager yeast still needs nearly twice as many cells as ale yeast, and stronger beers need more yeast. For strong lagers such as doppelbock, a starter or several packs can be a good idea.
What does 70–76% attenuation mean?
The yeast converts 70–76% of the sugar in the wort. That leaves some residual sweetness and body, which suits malty lager styles.
