White Labs: WLP820 Oktoberfest Lager

This yeast produces a very malty, bock-like beer. It does not finish as dry as WLP830. It’s much slower in the first generation than WLP830, so we encourage using a larger starter during the first generation or scheduling a longer lagering time.

Specifications:

• Attenuation: 65 -73%
• Flocculation: Medium
• Temp. Range: 52 – 58 F
• Alcohol Tolerance: Med – High (8 -12%)

Suggested Substitutions*:

*Suggested yeast substitutions may not be an exact replacement, but they will be a very close approximation.
