WLP036 Dusseldorf Alt Ale Yeast

Description

White Labs WLP036 Dusseldorf Alt Ale Yeast is a traditional German strain from Düsseldorf producing authentic Altbier character. Fermenting at 65-69°F (18-20°C), this strain achieves 65-72% attenuation with medium flocculation and 8-12% ABV tolerance. Unlike WLP029 which accentuates hops, WLP036 keeps hop bitterness in the background while promoting sweet, malty notes. Produces clean, slightly sweet German brown and amber ales with balanced, malt-forward profile. Possibly sourced from Zum Uerige brewery in Dusseldorf. Ideal for Düsseldorf Altbier, German Kolsch (when malt emphasis desired), cream ales, American pale/brown ales, amber ales, specialty honey ales, herb/spiced beers. Perfect for brewers seeking authentic German malt character with subdued hop presence.
