High-Gravity Bavarian Lager Fermentation for Bold, Malt-Forward Styles
Imperial Yeast L32 Magnitude is a clean-fermenting Bavarian lager strain with a higher alcohol tolerance, making it a strong pick when you’re brewing bold, malt-forward lagers where you want richness without yeast-derived distractions. It’s especially well-suited to higher gravity traditional styles like Dunkel, Doppelbock, and Eisbock.
With moderate attenuation and medium flocculation, Magnitude helps create structured, malt-focused lagers while finishing clean and balanced. In the Imperial Pitch Right Pouch (Homebrew) format, it’s designed for fast, consistent fermentation in a standard 5 gallon (19 L) batch (standard gravity), and many brewers choose to scale pitch rate up for big lagers.

Support Fermentation with Yeast Nutrient
For optimal performance, pair this strain with a yeast nutrient such as Wyeast Yeast Nutrient. Proper nutrients help avoid sluggish fermentation and improve attenuation—especially helpful for high-gravity lagers.
