I love WLP002 but have only used WLP005 a couple times. If memory serves me correctly you definitely want to do a Diacetyl rest with 005, and it produces more esters than 002.

The reason for boiling the water is to remove the dissolved oxygen (no oxygen = inactive yeast). People throw the jars in there to sanitize them at the same time (two birds, one stone).

It's because English strains typically ferment very fast and flocculate well leaving a brilliantly clear beer in no time. It allows them to turn over product quickly.

They're referring to if he bottles. The exisiting yeast is well past its prime at this point and adding a little fresh yeast on bottling day will speed up carbonation/conditioning.

Very cool, will have to try this out. Surprised they use so much Pils in the grist when none of their other hoppy beers use Pils at all.

Refractometers are basically worthless after you pitch the yeast, the alcohol skews the reading. There are conversion charts but they aren't very accurate. Hydrometer is the only way to go.

Try WLP002. It floccs like a rock, has mild esters, and good attenuation. You can get from grain to glass faster and with tastier results than any other strain I know.

You need a ton more yeast for a lager than an ale. My advice to a new lager brewer would be to use dry yeast and not mess with liquid/starter.

For most lagers of average gravity, pitching two...

Why did you use Notty? It's not a lager yeast.

Using an ale yeast instead of a lager yeast will have far greater impact on flavor than water treatment will.
