LalBrew Diamond (Lager)

Authentic German Lager Character • Dependable Cold Fermentation • Brilliantly Clean Results

LalBrew Diamond is a true German lager strain prized for clean, authentic lager fermentation with robust, dependable performance. It brings genuine bottom-fermenting character to homebrew in a dry format, taking the anxiety out of brewing styles that leave yeast nowhere to hide.

With 80% attenuation and high flocculation, Diamond ferments to a crisp, well-balanced finish and settles firmly, yielding bright, clear lager with straightforward cellaring.

Flavor & Aroma Profile

• Clean, authentic lager fermentation character
• Crisp finish with gentle malt balance
• Very low ester and sulfur production for a dry strain
• Smooth, rounded drinkability
• Transparent backdrop for malt and noble hops

Fermented at proper lager temperatures, Diamond is precise and classically clean; at the upper end of its range it ferments faster while remaining notably composed, making it forgiving for brewers still dialing in temperature control.

Brewing Applications

LalBrew Diamond is a staple ingredient in many classic lager styles, including:

• German Pilsner
• Helles
• Vienna Lager
• Märzen / Oktoberfest
• Munich Dunkel
• American Lager

It is also well suited to hoppy modern lagers, where its clean profile keeps the hops in sharp focus.

Usage Recommendations

Pitch two 11 g sachets into 5 gallons of lager-strength wort to hit a healthy cold-pitch cell count, fermenting at 50–59°F. Colder fermentation maximizes crispness and authenticity; the warmer end shortens the schedule with only a slight softening of precision.

Give Diamond a diacetyl rest as gravity nears terminal, then lager near freezing for two or more weeks — its high flocculation rewards the patience with sparkling clarity.
