Wyeast 2124 Bohemian Lager

This Carlsberg type yeast is the most widely used lager strain in the world. This strain produces a distinct malty profile with some ester character and a crisp finish. A versatile strain, that is great to use with lagers or Pilsners for fermentations in the 8-12°C range. It may also be used for Common beer production with fermentations at 18-20°C. A thorough diacetyl rest is recommended after fermentation is complete.

STORAGE CONDITIONS AND USAGE INSTRUCTION:

The yeast vial should be refrigerated (1-4°C).

1.Remove Activator from refrigeration ( 1-4 °C) and allow to come to room temperature just prior to use.

Confirm the inner pouch is broken. If you do not require proof of activity, proceed to the 5th step and Direct Pitch. Contents of inner pouch do not need to be transferred to your wort when not Activated.
