Hello brewmates from a sunny and cold Portugal
This weekend i have some spare time, and i will brew a beer for my bithday in may. I know, seems to be a bit early, but i want to do something that the ****ty lager drinkers enjoy....or not (i dont mind, more for me to drink :rockin: ), but i have a doubt: which yeast should i use:
- As lager yeasts, i have two options, S-23 or brewferm Lager - My problem here, is that i dont have a brewfridge, but i can keep the temperatures in a break between 9ºC and 14ºC. Lagering after this is not a problem.
- i also have two other options, S-05, that can ferment around 17ºC and gives a nice and clean profile or Workhorse from MJ, that can ferment around 15º/16C and from my experience, gives some sulfur character to the beers, like a lager yeast. Just doesnt floculate so well like the others, and has a poor atenuation power, 75%.
The recipe wasnt me building it, its a kit that a friend of mine offered me, two days ago, as a delayed christmas gift. I will see him again, only in May in birthday party, so i was thinking to brew this for that day.
which yeast would you choose?? Help me here, please!!
