Profile
White Labs' American Lager (WLP840) is a liquid lager yeast that works best with medium attenuation and flocculation. It has a medium alcohol tolerance and ferments best at temperatures between 10.0-13.0 °C. This strain is ideal for producing beers in the typical American lager style, such as light pilsners, pale lagers and bocks. The flavor profile of beers brewed with this yeast will be crisp, clean and well-balanced, exhibiting subtle maltiness and hop character with a hint of sulfur.
