Andechs Lager

Your

Lager

Workhorse


FRESH™ Andechs expresses the ALDC enzyme intracellularly, right where α-acetolactate forms, converting diacetyl’s precursor before it can overflow into wort or beer. By preventing diacetyl formation at the source, FRESH™ Andechs eliminates the need for yeast to clean it up later, which resolves production and quality hurdles, including extended diacetyl rests, and hop creep-induced diacetyl spikes. Low in sulfur and good at flocculating, it harvests and repitches easily.

Unmatched versatility

Ferment it cold for a classic lager that's as clean as it gets — no diacetyl to chase, no off-notes getting in the way. Or ferment it a little warmer for West Coast IPA and let the hops shine. With diacetyl ultra-low, your hop profile will pop.


“It ferments great, harvests easy, and it's literally making some of the cleanest IPAs and lagers we've ever made.”
