Kolsch Yeast 2565

The Wyeast 2565 Kolsch is a yeast strain from a traditional brewery in Cologne, Germany. It is a classic, true top cropping yeast. Beers made with this yeast will exhibit some of the fruity character of an ale but with a clean lager like profile. It will produce low to no detectable levels of diacetyl. This is a powdery strain that will result in yeast that remains in suspension post fermentation, so it will require filtration or additional settling time if you desire a bright beer. It can also be used to produce quick-conditioning pseudo-lager beers and ferments well at cold temperatures ranges (55-60F).
