Last minute lager yeast change

[gravityspiral]

Hello everyone,

I'm brewing a Light American Lager this weekend for an upcoming party. It's a crowd-pleaser for family members that usually drink miller lite and coors light so I wanted something as generic as possible. Literally just pale 2-row, some rice syrup solids, and hallertau hops.

I was going to use WLP840 but the LHBS didn't have any, and they were also out of most of the Wyeast lager strains, so I ended up getting Saflager S-23. Is this a good idea for what I'm aiming for, or should I go back and get some W34/70 instead?

I love 34/70. Not used 23, so I can't comment on it. But if you got the 34/70, you won't regret it at all.
