WLP029 Kölsch Ale Yeast brings traditional German ale character to your brew, sourced from Cologne itself. Known for crisp, lager-like results and subtle fruitiness, this yeast enhances hop bitterness and is a perfect match for kölsch, altbier, and cream ales.
ICE PACKS and SHIPPING: For best results, we strongly recommend adding an ice pack to your liquid yeast order. Ice packs do not guarantee that the yeast will arrive cold, but will keep yeast colder for longer during transit. We can not replace yeast that arrives warm. In warm weather months, we highly encourage choosing dry yeast.
STORAGE: Store in the fridge (33–38ºF). Do not freeze. Pitch cold - do not warm to room temp prior to pitching. Use within 4 months for direct pitching. For pouches older than 4 months, or that are warm, use a yeast starter to boost cell count.
From step-by-step instructions to video tutorials and real human support - our brewing experts are just an email away.
We use the same premium grains, hops & yeast trusted by the pros. No shortcuts. No substitutes. Just the good stuff.
We’re committed to your first batch being a great one. If something goes sideways, we’ll help you troubleshoot or replace what you need - fast.
