Lager fermentation temperature

Lagers are generally fermented at temperatures between 7 and 13 degrees Celsius.

Lagers have their own special yeast. The ale yeast can't be fermented at less than 13 degrees Celsius, but the Germans would have documented the process every time they produced a beer. 19th century, the Germans invented a low-temperature fermentation scenario and used it as the basis for the creation of this low-temperature fermentation yeast. This process is somewhat similar to artificial breeding, through continuous efforts, and finally obtained in the low temperature (7 to 13 degrees Celsius) can express the best activity of lager yeast.

Lager beer is not only golden, from light lemon and gold to amber and black, some as light as water, some as strong as fire. Lagers are suitable for industrialized large-scale production, have solid character, are easy to keep and can be transported over long distances.

Lager is a traditional European beer type with the following characteristics:

1. Low Fermentation: Lager is a low-fermented beer, and the fermentation process is usually carried out at a lower temperature. Such a fermentation process usually takes longer to allow the beer to mature and develop characteristic flavors.

2, golden color: Lager beer usually presents a golden yellow appearance, clear and transparent. This color gives an impression of freshness and crispness.

3. Sprayed and fragrant odor: Lagers usually have an aromatic odor, which includes the sweetness of the malt, the aroma of the yeast, and the floral scent of the hops.

4. Dry and refreshing taste: Lagers usually have a dry and refreshing taste due to their low fermentation process and low esterification levels.

5. Moderate Bitterness: Lagers usually have a moderate bitterness, which is contributed by the bittering substances in the hops. The degree of bitterness can vary by brand and region.
