Favorite Yeast for making a Marzen?

[Sonja Dewhurst]

I am thinking about something malty, maybe like

45% munich malt
30% pilsner malt
20% vienna malt
5% caramunich II

.5oz Saaz
.25oz Magnum at 90min

.25oz Magnum at 20 min

What yeasts does everyone like to use and at what temperatures for something like this?

I've used both S-23 and w-34/70 but I seemed to like the 34/70 better but I'm sure there are some better yeasts. These are the only ones I have used.

Use 1 smack pack of Wyeast 2206 per gallon of wort and ferment at 45°F. No diacetyl rest required.

German Lager X, I believe it is WLP835
typically right at 50*

 

[TooManyTacos]

Either 34/70 or WLP833 are my favorites

 

[Steveruch]

S-189 would work.

 

[SEndorf]

Omega 111 German Bock has always worked well for me

 

[VSGLS1]

Munich Lager 2308.

Lots of options, thank you guys! Looks like I need to bury my nose into some research here.

What does everyone think of the omega bayern lager yeast? The homebrew shop has fresh packs, the wyeasts were not from 2019.
