The flavor is malt-forward, featuring rich biscuit and smooth caramel notes, complemented by a touch of citrus for balance.
Munich Lager, developed by a German university, is a bottom-fermenting yeast ideal for brewing pilsners and lagers. It delivers a balanced blend of fruity and floral aromas, thanks to its optimal ester production and quick diacetyl reduction. Perfect for brewing a wide range of lager beer styles such as Pilsner, Helles, Bock, Vienna and Märzen.

Pitch directly into the fermenter at a rate of 75-100 g/hl for wort cooled to 10-14°C (50-57°F).
The ideal pitch rate depends on brewing conditions and will influence fermentation performance and the beer's final flavor profile. Higher pitching rates and additional yeast nutrients may be needed for high-gravity, high-adjunct, or high-acidity fermentations.
Apex Cultures® recommends pitching directly into the wort without prior rehydration.
If rehydration is necessary, dissolve in sterile water or wort at room temperature at a ratio of 1:10. Stir gently and leave for approximately 20 minutes. Gently stir again and add to the cooled slurry to the fermenter.
Store in vacuum-sealed packaging when possible, in a dry, odor-free environment at 4°C (40°F). Minimize exposure to air. Do not freeze. Use yeast immediately after opening. Shelf life is 36 months from the production date. Do not use past the expiration date on the package.
