I need to brew a Pilsener and have it ready to serve at a public event in exactly 30 days.
Assuming this is even feasible, which of the dry lager yeasts would you recommend:
Saflager S-23
Saflager S-189
Saflager W-34/70
Mangrove Jacks M54 Californian Lager
My primary concern is not so much nailing the style - it just needs to be recognizably Pilsener-like - but with getting it done and cleaned up in time, so my preference would be for the fastest fermenting yeast.
My plan is to ferment it cool for a few days, then ramp the temp up to finish in the mid-60s. Chill, clarify, and lager for as long as I can, then keg and force-carbonate the day before serving.
