Muntons Australian Style Lager 1.5kg

[jasondwyer]

Hi guys I was hopping someone could tell me if the yeast supplied with this muntons kit (http://wallingtons.com.au/content/muntons-australian-style-lager-15kg) is a lager yeast
I was given a tin whos use by date is may 2015.

Does the can say what temperature to ferment it at? If it's below 18 you can assume it's a lager yeast.

It says to ferment at 18-21 degrees so that's an ale yeast then ?

 

[carniebrew]

Yep, lagers are more in the range of 12 degrees. You could always throw that yeast away and use a lager yeast, you'd likely get a better result, if you have the ability to control your ferment temp that low?
