Fest is just what it's name suggests - a great strain for producing malt-forward festival lagers! Marzens, Oktoberfests, Bocks and more can all be made with this amazing yeast strain! As far as lager strains go, this is one of the most flocculant, and can be used to make clear beers that do not require filtration. It is a strain that will ferment well, leaving beers with a good malt character without being overly sweet. A thorough diacetyl rest is recommended near the end of fermentation to ensure a clean finish.
