Can't Find W-34/70 In Beersmith

[Bribie G]

I'll obviously need to enter it myself for future reference, where would I get the information requested by BS? Or is there a BS file anywhere I can import into the program? Seems odd that they would leave out one of the more popular dried lager yeasts, unless they have another name for in in the USA.

Don't have BS with me ATM so not sure what exactly you need, but hope this helps http://www.fermentis.com/FO/pdf/HB/EN/Saflager_W-3470_HB.pdf

I can't remember if I created it but here's my yeasts file which you can import...
Has some of the seasonal wyeasts etc. I've created too.

Thanks guys, appreciated.

Gotta make sure you get the attenuation right if you manually add, think its 79% ...

 

[NickB]

BeerAlchemy tells me it's 75%...

Cheers

Brewhouse ferm sheets go for 89 ....

 

[NickB]

Quite a variance! So, which one is correct???

In a pinch its the same strain as Wyeast 2142... so you could just clone the 2124 entry. I'm not aware of any major differences between the dry and liquid versions of the strain.

Tisk tisk... what a quitter! Using a recipator app??!!

Getting a bit OT here, but FWIW, I use StrangeBrew 2.0.1. Yeah, it is a bit clunky, raw and idiosyncratic but seeing as I dig free stuff and also there's the big three OSes in this household I figured something cross- platform would be a good idea (probably less of an issue these days with Wine working superbly these days etc.). It has CSV files for ingredient tables, I just copy an existing line and edit in new data, pretty easy. It has W34/70, but the app itself has no scope for a default attenuation (the 0.75 below is cost), but you can add in your own and that's what I usually do. An example from yeast.csv:

17,Saflager W34/70,0.75,"This famous yeast strain from Weihenstephan in Germany is used world-wide within the brewing industry. Thanks to its technological properties, this strain has become the most popular strain for lager brewing and is used by industrial breweries and brewing groups around the globe. Sedimentation: high. Final gravity: medium.",FALSE

So in StrangeBrew it seems only to be useful for keeping records with sufficient detail and for presentation/ printing, makes SFA difference to actual operation as attenuation is just adjusted in the main Details tab (default is 75% IIRC). Don't know about other apps though, I'd imagine that they can use a stored value as it wouldn't be too hard?
Sorry for the OT digression, might help someone...
