{"product_id":"apres-ski","title":"Apres Ski","description":"\u003cp\u003eWHC Apres Ski is a dry lager yeast that originated in the Swiss Alps. What sets it apart is temperature range. It stays clean and crisp fermenting warmer than a conventional lager strain tolerates, which cuts tank time without the esters and fusels that usually follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is clean and sessionable with subtle floral and light fruity notes rather than the sulphur-forward profile some lager strains give you. Attenuation runs 73 to 80%, so mash temperature steers it toward a fuller Helles or a drier Pilsner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBrewing with Apres Ski\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFerment 46 to 61F on a traditional schedule, or push warmer for faster turnaround.
