Czech Unpasteurized Lager

Description

An unpasteurized and freshly made batch of the original Czech Lager beer

Who doesn’t love a malty, slightly hoppy traditional Czech lager? The common commercially available strains sourced from the “original” brewery often lack a certain richness found in the classic beer.

CUL was sourced from an unpasteurized Czech Lager beer that produces a unique, malty sweet Pils aroma, a medium mouthfeel, subtle bite with low diacetyl production and a short primary fermentation.

Ferment at traditional lager ferm temperatures 50F-55F (10C-13C) for 2-6 weeks with a diacetyl rest before crashing or additional lagering.
