WLP029 K√∂lsch Ale Yeast – PurePitch® Next Generation
Sourced from a small brewpub in Cologne, Germany, WLP029 is the classic strain for brewing authentic kölsch and altbier. It produces crisp, clean, lager-like beers with subtle hop character.
Best fermented between 65-69˚F, this strain provides a clean profile when used properly but does not ferment well below 62˚F after peak fermentation. It typically shows low flocculation after the first generation but still produces refined, bright beers.
