Franconian Dark Lager

About

Franconian Dark Lager is a single strain of Saccharomyces pastorianus that hails from the Franconia region of Germany. This yeast exhibits a short lag time and has flavor profile characteristics that complement dark, roasted malts. While the dark malt complementarity makes this yeast a perfect fit for any big malt driven dark lagers, it's also able to produce crisp light lagers.

Clean lager yeast. Crisp fermentation with malty backbone. Minimal ester production.
