Hi All,
I am looking for some suggestions from those who are in the know when it comes to making pseudo lagers and/or pilsners.
I am in the process of making a range of pilsners/lagers using different variations of hops and grains to try and find my perfect pils/lager so I can have a stock standard brew. Once I have picked my recipe I will start with the lager yeasts again.
Anyway I want to make it using an ale yeast, basically so I can test it out a lot quicker. (from grain to keg in a few weeks)
I have just done a few, 1 using safale S33 and the second using S04. I was pretty happy with the results of both. they both cleared VERY well and I was able to keg them within 8 days. (5 primary, 3 secondary)
Before I keep on going I thought I would ask the question, is there a liquid yeast out there that might be better to use then the safales?
I can only brew at about 25C so I am limited by this a little.
I was thinking the Klsch yeast however as it is low Flocculation it is kind of out of what I wanted.
I had also thought maybe the California Lager Yeast but then again it is only up to 20C.
Then my last thought was to continue using the safales but using Amylo 300 to dry the beer up.
Would love to see what comments or suggestions you have for me.
Thanks
