Wyeast 2206

[jtupper]

I'm thinking of doing a new German lager tomorrow with some wyeast 2206. The grain bill will be 90% pils and 10% cara the hop schedule will be around 18-20 IBUS of hallertau pellets. Full ro water with no additions. Will this yeast be close to style. I know it might end up drier than normal but could be heavy on the malty side too which isn't particularly bad. What's everyones thoughts. I helped a buddy harvest this yeast but I'm not familiar with it's use.

That will make a helles. Is that what you want? If you're wanting to make a German pils you'll need to up the hops.

You may want to add some calcium and lots of yeast nutrient, as well as greater IBUs to be spot on and have a strong ferment with this yeast.

you will need a minimum of 50ppm of calcium or your beer wont clear among other things.
