GigaYeast GY002 Czech Pilsner Gold Pitch Liquid Yeast
Details
Bottom fermenting yeast from a world famous Czech pilsner. Produces a dry, clean beer. Perfect for pilsner and other lager styles. This yeast is flocculent and produces a very clear beer. Robust attenuation in beer up to 16-17˚ Plato. Moderate to poor attenuation in very high gravity beers (over 20˚ Plato).
Representative Styles: Pilsners, Lagers
200 Billion Yeast Cells per pack, designed to inoculate 5 gallons (19L).
* Attenuation was measured after 8 days with Ale yeast at 70˚F and Lager yeast at 50˚F. Medium Gravity is 14˚ – 16˚Plato. High Gravity is 23˚- 25˚Plato.
† The working temperature range represents the range at which fermentation for a given strain produces a typical attenuation- not necessarily the ideal temperature for your particular beer style. As a rule of thumb, start ale yeast fermentation at 68˚ – 72˚F and then lower or raise temp as desired. Lager Yeast are typically fermented at 45˚ – 58˚F. If desired, Lager Yeast can be given a “hot start” at 65-68˚F and then lowered to the primary temperature after active fermentation begins (10-20 hrs).
