Wyeast 2565 Kolsch Ale Yeast

Probable origin: Cologne, Germany
Beer Styles: Kolsch, Fruit beers, Light pseudo lagers
Commercial examples may include: Kess, Paffgen, Muhlen
Unique properties: A true top cropping yeast similar to Alt strains, this yeast produces slightly more fruity/winey characteristics. Fruitiness increases when the temperature increases. There is low or no detectable diacetyl production. It also ferments well in the cold 55-60 F range (13-16 C). The yeast can be used to produce quick-conditioning pseudo-lager beers. Its poor flocculation requires either filtration or additional settling time to produce bright beers.

• Attenuation: 73-77%
• Flocculation: Low
• Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 56-70 F (13-21 C)
• Alcohol Tolerance: 10% ABV
