So I’ve not been a dry yeast guy and I have a pack of Lallend Kolsch Yeast. I don’t brew Kolsch and am wondering what this could be used for. Their description says:
“LalBrew Köln™ is ideal for brewing traditional Kölsch-style beers and other neutral ales. The neutral character of this strain accentuates delicate hop aromas while imparting subtle fruity esters. Through expression of a beta-glucosidase enzyme LalBrew Köln™ can promote hop biotransformation and accentuate hop flavor and aroma. Colder fermentations will be more neutral in character, while warmer fermentations will have more fruit-forward ester profile.”
So its good for “neutral ales” . I’m wondering about the biotransformation bit. Some say this is a real thing, others believe its nonsense.
Would this yeast be good for a centennial blonde ale recipe, or possibly a pale ale? What styles are good matches that can be brewed with this yeast?
Thanks
