• Posted in thread: Suggestions for Lager Dry Yeast? S-23 or ??? on 02-09-2012 at 10:16 PM
  I actually really like S-23. I know it get's a lot of hate around here but both times I've used
  it the yeast produced very clean beers. I think the trick is warm fermentation. Like low 60's.
  It's no b...

  I have a SMaSH cold crashing in my garage using this yeast as we speak. I guess technically
  it's a Cali. Common since I did the primary fermentation at 60. It's been in my garage now for
  a month at 45...

  I spent entirely too long today looking for some resource that could show me water profiles in
  my area. The good news is I found a site so you don't have to go looking! The USGS actually
  made this rea...

  Subscribed. I'd like to see some experienced input on this.

  It'll be hard to get a good amount of CO2 in suspension with just one night of force carbing.
  If it were me, I'd rack it to a corny around 3-5 days prior. The worst that could happen is
  you'll have yo...

• Posted in thread: Citra SMASH! on 11-11-2011 at 05:39 PM
  I'll tell you that a little Citra goes a LONGGGG way. I put more like 2 total ounces in each of
  my 5 gallon recipes, not the 6 ounces you are adding. I may not love Citra quite as much as
  Topher (I gu...

  Welcome to the Thunderdome. Two yeast enter, one yeast leaves! :ban:

• Posted in thread: Saflager S-23 Report on 11-08-2011 at 02:29 AM
  I love S-23. I ferment it at 60 degrees and it's never done me wrong. It's great to work with
  too, no starter just pitch two packs at around 70 degrees and it's off bubbling in just a few
  hours. Super...

• Posted in thread: Has anyone tried S-189? on 11-08-2011 at 01:19 AM
  I've used it twice, with awful results both times. Slow to start, a flabby texture and a very
  strong apple ester in the finished beer.The yeast may have been old or infected, since it was
  clearly repa...

  You might be under their craft or industrial brewing sections. AS you said, you won't find it
  at a homebrew supply shop.I know it's an industrial yeast, but it is actually available in
  homebrewer size...
