All I brew is lagers with WY2124. I ferment at 50 for about a week, raise to 60 for a d rest then cold crash before kegging.
I have a club comp coming up in Nov where everyone is brewing a Cali Common. I want to use my current yeast I use for my lagers but ferment around 60 instead of 50. I'm sure this yeast will work fine at this temp for this beer but what about reusing this same slurry for future lagers at 50°? I'm worried that fermenting warmer will carry over fruity esters to my next lager?
