Technical Requirement

Active Temperature Control Required. This strain (WLP830) requires precise sub-ambient cooling for clean results. Fermenting above 55°F will produce esters and diacetyl.

Pitch Window

50–55°F

Style Category

BOTTOM-FERMENTED LAGER

Equipment Prerequisites

Fermentation Chamber

Capable of holding 50–55°F (10–13°C) continuously for 2+ weeks

Digital Temperature Controller

e.g. Inkbird ITC-308 or Ranco — ±1°F precision required for WLP830

Patience (30+ Days)

Allow full fermentation schedule to complete — rushing compromises finish

Increased Pitch Rate

Lager yeast requires 2× standard pitch rate — use 2 packs or prepare a 2L starter
