Golden Gate Lager

Lager yeast used to create the California Common beer style. Ferments unusually high for a lager strain and still retains a lager sensibility (up to 68˚F). This yeast leaves a slightly sweeter beer than our other lager yeast— perfect for creating a subtle, malty undertone against a clean lager background. Creates a moderate amount of sulfide under some conditions that will dissipate with a short rest. Fermentations at traditional lager temperatures may be slow. Recommended 55˚- 68˚F
