Good to hear! So for now those who really want the discontinued Lallemand Koln this may be the way to go. I'll definitely be considering...

US-05 and variants are typically slower from my experience. Now in regards to repitching a local brewery has been successfully...

It banks just fine. I have quite a bit banked up. Just pitch it dry into 2L 1.040 wort and give it 4-5 days or so to ferment out...

Oh I know! Just because it's the yeast strain origin doesn't mean it's that exact strain. Yeast is a living organism that mutates so...

I recently warm fermented with WLP830 with no ill effects. With that said there absolutely is a difference with the Weinstephaner strain...

I'm sipping on a blonde ale fermented with novalager now. I will say this isn't the cleanest lager strain nor is it crisp. I could see...

I think homebrew4life fermented that strain warm under pressure and had positive results. Maybe try 1 bar around 60F?
