I'm almost ready to get started in making lagers at home. I now have the temp controlled fridge, so I'm pumped to finally delve into the other side.
I like to make a variety of beer types and try to keep a "house" yeast for the different types (e.g. 1968 for english, 3787 for belgian, bells strain for american, 3333 for wheat etc). I want to have the same thing for lagers.
I'm looking to brew the following german lager types over the next year or two and I want to find the strain that is versatile to all of them: Vienna, bock, oktoberfest, plus maybe the odd pilsner or helles.
I've heard good things about Bavarian Lager 2206 and Munich Lager 2308. Which is better and why? I'm looking for decent floc so I don't have to lager for 3+ months, and something that keeps the malt clean and in the forefront. TIA!
