Fermentation guidance

Pack size: 11.5g
Supplier dosage: 80–120g per hectolitre
Ideal fermentation temperature: 12–18°C

Pitch directly or rehydrate according to the supplier directions. Match the total yeast quantity to the wort volume, gravity and fermentation temperature; cooler lager fermentation can require more yeast than a comparable ale.
