I bought a WLgerman lager, and WLpilsner lager vials about a month back, and
have some questions before I do something with them.
Right now, I'm not quite set up to take the lagering temps into the 50's, but I can hold them around 65-70. I'm wondering if I can get a decent batch of beer from doing this with the 2 above mentioned yeasts? Maybe a steam type ?
secondly, I've been washing my yeast to perpetuate generations. IF I steam beer with these lager yeasts, will It harm the yeast in a way that I should worry about washing them for a later "real" lagering, or even re-use for that matter.
ANy thoughts are greatly appreciated!
