Product description
LalBrew Köln® is ideal for brewing traditional Kölsch-style beers and other neutral ales.
The neutral character of this strain accentuates delicate hop aromas while imparting subtle fruity esters. Through expression of a beta-glucosidase enzyme LalBrew® Köln can promote hop biotransformation and accentuate hop flavour and aroma.
Colder fermentations will be more neutral in character, while warmer fermentations will have more fruit-forward ester profile.
