Imperial Yeast | L28 Urkel Lager | Beer Yeast | Double Pitch | 200 Billion Cells

    Description

    Urkel allows for a nice balance between hops and malt. This strain can produce sulfur aromas 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.

    Attenuation: 71-75%
    Flocculation: Medium
    Alcohol Tolerance: 10% ABV
    Optimum Fermentation Temp: 52-58°F
    Cell Count: 200 Billion
    Similar Strains: WLP800, WY2001

    Please Note: For best results we Always recommend ordering an Ice Pack with your liquid yeast. Ice Packs can be found below in the "You might Also Need" section.

    Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.

        Customers praised this lager yeast for fast fermentation (typically 2-4 days), high cell count, and clean flavor profile. Many noted it produces "clean, crisp, delicious" results without requiring a starter. Some experienced temporary sulfur during fermentation that dissipated quickly. Brewers appreciated its efficient attenuation and clarity.

        Oktoberfest

        Took off like a rocket in my Oktoberfest. Used instead of Harvest which is my typical go to. Attenuated down to 1.010. Fermented warm. No sulfur to speak of after a ramp up. Clean. Crisp. Delicious.

        First lager

        I enjoyed this yeast for many reasons. Fermented my beer in roughly 2 weeks. Did a good job clearing up after fermentation The yeast flavor is there! but it doesn't outshine your malt or hop characters

        Nice lager yeast

        I made a starter because I made a 10 gallon batch but I'm not even sure I needed to do it. I hit FG in under 4 days at 54 degrees. It throws a good amount of sulfur during fermentation but it's going away pretty fast now that it's lagering. Beer tastes great! I will buy again. Just a really clean and healthy yeast otherwise.

        Organic Yeast Twice the Cell Count and Awesome Customer Support

        This is an amazing producer of yeast. I have sent an e-mail on a Sunday and received a call back in less than an hour. I have used several of their products. This yeast worked very well and resulted in a very tasty lager on my first lager attempt.
