BSY Strain of the Month | August

Packet of Bluestone's Munich Strain yeast

Munich

It’s time to dust off your Dirndls and iron your Lederhosen, The Munich Beerfest, aka Oktoberfest is almost upon us. And if you’re planning to celebrate with a Bavarian-style wiezen beer it’s time to get started.

Hailing from the home of Oktoberfest, our Munich strain of live liquid yeast is a traditional German strain you can put to work to create world-class weizen beers that call for a big banana aroma. Balanced with mild clove, this strain will produce amazing wheat beers for your Oktoberfest celebrations. Munich will produce a slightly elevated level of acidity to give your beer a refreshing, crisp finish.

Quick pro-tip: Slightly underpitching will help increase the banana flavour

If you’d like to get hold of a 120ml home-brew pack and put our Munich strain to work in your next brew, you’ll find all that you need to know on our stockists page.

Our Sterile Liquid Zinc Booster is designed for cold-side application, ensuring your yeast gets the nutrients it needs when it matters most.
