Urkel L28

Imperial Yeast's L28 Urkel will create a nice balance between malt and hops. This strain can be slightly sulphery during fermentation but will clean up during lagering. If you ferment this strain at the higher end of the optimal temperature range it will produce a beer with minimal sulfur and a light ester profile yet with the classic Czech edge.

This strain is an excellent choice for Czech Lagers.

If you need a substitution we recommend Imperial L17 Harvest or Wyeast Czech Pils 2278.
