Lager yeast:
Lager beers have a fresh finish and are not as heavy and crisper/dryer as ales. Generally, one who brews lagers produces also an enormous amount of sulphur during the cold fermentation process, this evaporates during the maturation. An important profile for famous pilsner beers.

Smack Pack Activator:
Meant for the more experienced homebrewer or small microbrewery. There is a possibility for direct addition up to 20 litres of wort.
Contains 125 ml, culture medium included.
Wyeast beer yeast contains 3.5 times more yeast cells and is packed sterile in a special Smackpack.
Best before date: 0-6 months after production. It is possible to use the yeast after those 6 months, however, they need a longer start up time.
Wyeast yeast is ideal for bigger amount of wort and for beer brewers who want to avoid making a yeast starter.

Important notice:
Activator™ packages will sometimes swell slightly or moderately during shipping or storage. This is not an indication of deterioration if the package is less than 6 months old and has been properly handled. This is due to trace amounts of nutrients, still available at the time of packaging, causing small amounts of culture activity and CO2 production. Some strains are more prone to this than others.
