Omega Yeast | OYL-044 Kolsch II | Beer Yeast | Double Pitch | 225 Billion Cells

    Description

    • OYL-044 is a lager-like ale strain that’s lightly fruity, crisp and clean
    • Clears quickly and accentuates hop flavors
    • Double pitch size with a minimum of 225 billion cells—twice the size of the standard yeast pitch
    • Proprietary propagation methods generate fresh, metabolically strong yeast cells and optimal biomass
    • Omega Yeast is founded on curiosity and innovation, expertly producing common workhorse varieties and many unique strains

    Kolsch II is the brewer's best friend among Kolsch strains. It's considered much easier to manage as it is warmer fermenting than other Kolsch yeast, flocculates much better and clears more quickly. This lager-like ale strain is lightly fruity, crisp and clean with a hint of sulfur that disappears with age to leave a clean ale. Accentuates hop flavors.

    Attenuation: 72-78%
    Flocculation: Medium
    Alcohol Tolerance: 10% ABV
    Optimum Fermentation Temp: 65-69°F
    Cell Count: 225 Billion
    Strain Type: Ales
     

    Please Note: For best results we Always recommend ordering an Ice Pack with your liquid yeast. Ice Packs can be found below in the "You might Also Need" section.

    Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.

        Omega Yeast / Kolsch II

        I ordered this yeast because it had a lot of great reviews and I paid $4.49 for the insulated ice pack (2 ice packs inside) only to have the ice pack arrive opened and the yeast warm. At first I thought the humidity may have caused it to open but then I realized the packer didn't bother to remove the white strip from the adhesive. Very lazy.

        Great yeast

        Nice, quick and clears easily. I fermented at the low end, 65F and love the flavor. Watch out for the attenuation though, mine went down to 1.004, but was targeting 1.009. It's ready really quick, which is a nice perk.

        Best Kolsch yeast

        I have tried every Kolsch yeast I could get my hands on and this is by far the best. Fement warmer than traditional Kolsch yeast and floc faster? Yes please. Produces a crisp clean clear Kolsch style ale far faster than any other Kolsch yeast! I typically ferment at 66F keg on day 14 and it's ready to rock the next weekend.

        Drops clear quick! Great kolsch strain.

        I've done a couple kolsch batches in the past. But this strain kinda surprised me. It was quite drinkable after only a few days in the keg and dropped pretty clear by then. I'l typically lager a kolsch for a couple of weeks but this one turned out pretty good. Good subtle fruity character every good kolsch should have . Even stated this strain ferments slightly warmer than kolsch I which I appreciate. I'll revisit this yeast in the future for sure.
