Key Features:

• Style Precision: Tailored for crafting Pilsner and other lager styles, WLP4035 is adept at producing beers with a clear, bright profile and a smooth finish.
• Flavor and Aroma: Produces a subtle, clean palate with minimal esters, allowing the hops' floral and spicy notes to shine through, complemented by a soft malt background.
• Fermentation Temperatures: Performs best at cooler fermentation temperatures, typically between 50-55°F (10-13°C), facilitating a slow, steady fermentation that contributes to its clean flavor profile.
• Attenuation and Flocculation: Features high attenuation and medium flocculation, resulting in a dry, crisp beer with good clarity.

Guidance for Use:

1. Pitching: For lagers, a higher pitching rate of about 1.5 to 2 million cells per mL per degree Plato is recommended to ensure a robust fermentation.
2. Aeration: Adequate aeration of the wort is crucial to support the yeast's health and vigor throughout the lagering process.
3. Temperature Control: Keep the fermentation temperature within the 50-55°F (10-13°C) range to promote the clean, crisp characteristics typical of Hessian Pilsners.
4. Lagering: After primary fermentation, a prolonged lagering phase at near-freezing temperatures will help to develop the beer’s smoothness and clarity.
