Wyeast 2124 - Bohemian Lager

Post by mcgster » Tue Mar 31, 2015 11:36 am

Has anyone used this yeast before, any comments on it?

I'm brewing a dunkel and a schwarzibier this weekend and going with WY2124 for the dunkel and WLP833 for the schwarzbier to feel out these two styles.

Pretty sure this won't be helpful but I don't have any experience with that yeast but am I going to do a Bo Pils with WLP802 Czech lager and then going to do a schwarzbier with the same yeast.

Never done one but I'm making it for the beer exchange in December. I'm going for a clean beer with a very subtle roast. About half of my grain bill will be Munich.

Awesome, sounds similar to what i have planned.

What do you have in mind for a fermentation temp / time?
