Description

WLP029 German Kolsch yeast comes from a small brewpub in Cologne, Germany, and works great in Kolsch and Alt style beers. Good for light beers like blond ale and american wheat. The slight sulfur produced during fermentation will disappear with age and leave a super clean, lager like ale. We have fermented this yeast at 58F and had great success. If you ferment this strain in the high fifties we recommend you make a yeast starter. The cooler ferment produced less esters (fruit character) and made a really clean kolsch almost tasted like a standard american lager. Ferment for 10-14 days in the primary.

Attenuation: 72-78%
Flocculation: Medium
Fermentation Temp: 65-69
Wyeast Equivalent: 2565 Kolsch





For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast.

Though my wlp029 is not finished I changed out the trub jar on my Catalyst seems to be doing great. I would recommend WLP029 yeast for brewing. Kolsch. Thank you more beer.

Good for more than just Kolsch
I have used this yeast for brewing Kolsch, Altbier, and more recently for American Wheat. Have been happy with all of these. Performs well in my basement at a temperature range of 58°-64°F

Love this yeast
I was surprised at how clear the beer was when I racked my first batch to a carboy. After 2 weeks there was hardly any sediment at all. Bottled my second batch straight from the fermenter and beer was crystal clear.

Great Yeast.
Works it's magic. Started fermentation at 58 degrees in my most recent batch and let it rise to 65 over 2 weeks. Very clean and slightly malty. In another batch I fermented at 68-70 for 2 weeks and it turned out very well too. Clears up well with a little extra time in the keg.

What a great yeast!
I had made a "California" Kolsch, a nice hoppy kolsch a few times with this yeast. I always make a 2L starter, it usually has less than a day of lag, and ferments down within a couple weeks. I keep the wort in a cool cellar between 66?-68?F which probably makes it take a little longer. Crisp beer, clean flavors even as it warms up a bit. It's perfect for afternoons in the hammock.

Absolutely love this stuff for my Kolsches. Gives a great fruity edge to the flavor, can take a little time to clear

Good Yeast but slow to start
This produces a good Kolsch but you need to be patient. It's slow to start and slow to finish
