Urkel
About
Excellent choice for your Czech lager fermentations. Urkel allows for a nice balance between hops and malt. This strain can be slightly sulphery during fermentation, but it cleans up during lagering. Fermentation at the higher end of the range will produce a beer with minimal sulfur and a light ester profile with that classic Czech edge you are looking for.
Flavor Profile
Excellent Czech lager strain. Clean fermentation with delicate malt character and crisp finish.
