JY158 - Das Kolsch

German ale yeast sourced from a brewery in Washington, DC. This strain will produce soft German beers that are refreshing and slightly fruity. Sulfur is produced during fermentation, especially at colder temperatures, but will disappear with appropriate aging or warmer fermentation temps. Ideal for kolsch, altbiers, and even a medium-dry American IPA (between an east and west coast IPA) when you're hoping to repitch and go one more generation before purchasing a new pitch.
