so, as i always do - i forgot to order two w-34 packets for my 5g maibock - im boiling now and i do happen to have an extra s-23 laying around - what do you all think about pitching both yeasts in my maibock?
 
What temp do you have it fermenting at? The s23 uses a higher temp range(53F-59F) than w34 (48F-59F). And s23 will give a fruitier and more estery flavor than w34. I'd use the low end of s23 and hope for a clean fllavor profile.
 
I will b fermenting at whatever temp the garage is at - lol, so I'll just wait and see
