JY268 - Franconian Lager

This is the most recent addition to our extensive lager strain collection, and we love it. A balanced, clean strain, it is perfect for bohemian pilsners, classic marzens, or a seasonal doppelbock. Similar to JY219 but with slightly higher attenuation and very low sulfur production. Franconian Lager was popular in Europe during the 1950’s and infrequently used until a recent discovery from a forgotten stock in a German lab.
