General Info
12 gallons total - 9 gallons will be fermented with WLP833 German Bock Lager yeast.
The other 3 gallons will be fermented with Mangrove Jack's dry M84 Bohemian Lager yeast:
Bohemian Lager is a classic bottom-fermenting, continental lager strain that produces elegant, well balanced beers. Bohemian Lager Yeast is characterized by its dry and clean palate, typical of traditional Czech brewing. This strain confers smooth, subtle yeast characteristics with muted fruit notes, resulting in refreshingly crisp lagers with expressive hop character. While rich and chewy, the beers fermented with this strain will not be sweet, but may have an elusive sweet malt flavor in the aftertaste. Lagering periods as short as 4 weeks may produce acceptable beer, but allowing beer to lager 6-8 weeks will result in beer that is richer, smoother, with a more refined aroma and flavor.
Suitable for German/ Bohemian Pilsners, all lager styles, German Bocks and more.
Curious to see how the small batch turns out with the dried yeast - new on the market.
