Brewer notes

American Lager is a liquid lager culture from Wyeast (2035). Fermentation character should be judged by the strain rather than inferred from attenuation alone. Useful for lagers and pilsners. Reference guidance: attenuation guidance 73–77%, fermentation range about 9–14°C (48–58°F), alcohol tolerance around 8%. Treat temperature, attenuation and alcohol tolerance as strain guidance; wort composition, pitch health and fermentation management still affect the result.
