{"product_id":"white-labs-wlp800-o-organic-pilsner-lager-yeast","title":"White Labs WLP800-O Organic Pilsner Lager Yeast","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhite Labs WLP800-O is the certified organic edition of one of the most storied lager strains in brewing — the classic Czech pilsner yeast from the premier pilsner producer in the Czech Republic, now delivered in White Labs' PurePitch Next Generation format. If you're chasing the authentic Bohemian pilsner profile — clean and crisp, somewhat dry, with that unmistakable soft malty finish that separates a Czech pils from its drier German cousins — this is the strain the style is measured against.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe character is deliberate Czech balance. WLP800 ferments clean and cold at 10–13°C, attenuating to a moderate 72–77% that leaves the gentle malt roundness a Bohemian pilsner needs — where German lager strains finish leaner, this one keeps the pillow under the Saaz. Medium-to-high flocculation drops it reasonably bright after lagering, and beyond its home style it's a genuinely versatile cold-side workhorse: Helles, Dunkel, Vienna Lager, Märzen, Schwarzbier, Amber Lager, and clean American lagers all sit comfortably in its range. As with any traditional lager strain, plan a diacetyl rest near the end of primary and give it proper lagering time — this is slow beer, and it rewards the patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePurePitch Next Generation is the packaging worth explaining: the yeast is grown and packaged in the same FlexCell vessel — never transferred, so nothing else ever touches it — and the pouch now carries roughly double the cells of the original PurePitch at a precise, consistent concentration, engineered around the commercial pitching rate of 7.5 million cells\/mL. In practice: twist the resealable cap and pitch, no starter required for a standard-gravity batch. For lagers, cold pitches, or high gravity, scan the QR code on the pack — White Labs' calculator takes your volume, gravity, and pitching temperature and tells you exactly how much to pitch, and the resealable cap makes split or partial pitches practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe -O certification completes the picture: the same strain and the same character, produced to certified organic standards — the missing piece for brewers producing fully certified organic beer, where every ingredient with an organic equivalent must be organic. Pair it with organic malt and this pouch closes the loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLiquid yeast — handle cold\u003cbr\u003eStore refrigerated at 2–4°C and never freeze. Use before the best-before date — cell viability declines over time. Remove from the fridge and let the pouch temper toward pitching temperature before opening, shake to resuspend, twist the cap, and pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFlavor \u0026amp; Aroma\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean, crisp Czech lager character — the reference profile for Bohemian Pilsner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomewhat dry with a signature soft, malty finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubtle, refined ester profile at proper lager temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrops reasonably bright after lagering (medium-high flocculation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUsage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLager: Czech\/Bohemian Pilsner, Munich Helles, Dunkel, Vienna Lager, Märzen, Schwarzbier\u003cbr\u003eStrong Lager: Bock, Doppelbock, Baltic Porter\u003cbr\u003eClean: American Lager, Amber Lager\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFerment at 10–13°C with a diacetyl rest toward the end of primary, then lager cold.
