Used by many German breweries to produce rich, full-bodied, malty beers. Good choice for Bocks and Dopplebocks. A thorough diacetyl rest is recommended after fermentation is complete.
Additional Information:
The activator has 100 billion cells of pure, ready-to-pitch yeast, plus an internal nutrient packet. The Activator is designed to inoculate five gallons of wort (up to 1.065 SG) providing the pitching rate recommended by professional brewers. The smack pack system allows yeast metabolism to begin, providing proof of healthy yeast. It is not necessary for this package to fully swell before use.
