WLPD860 Munich Lager Yeast Dosage
The proper dosage of White Labs WLPD860 Munich Lager Yeast is important for achieving ideal fermentation results. Brewers should use 1-2 packets (11g) for a standard 20L batch, with the recommended dosage range being 0.5-2g per liter of wort.
For best yeast performance, pitching rates may need adjustment based on original gravity and desired fermentation characteristics. When brewing high-gravity beers or working in challenging fermentation conditions, increasing the dosage to the higher end of the range guarantees proper attenuation.
Fermentation tips include rehydrating the yeast in sterile water at 23°C for 15-30 minutes before pitching, which helps activate the cells and promotes vigorous fermentation initiation.
Accurate dosage calculations directly impact the final beer’s clarity, flavor profile, and overall fermentation efficiency.
