After several years of reading and listening I am really starting to have fun!!!
I just bottled a small batch of JZ's Maibock, Mmmmm... hydro sample very tasty!
I have been a dry yeast user for 3 years now. So, I decided to do a small split batch, yeast comparison with WY2124 and W34/70. Washed and repitched both yeasts. Did a Bo Pils 1st and JZ's Maibock 2cnd. Both turned out excellent! And, I pitched a third batch using the WY2124 in JZ's Schwarzbier... just for grins! (Hope the Maibock didn't wound the WY2124, but it sure took off quick!)
WY2124 version started and finished a bit earlier than the W34/70.
WY2124 was clearer, and had more character.
Second pitch started 24-36 hours quicker than the first, third pitch almost immediate!!
The collection of knowledge and sharing here is so great! It makes it EASY to make great beer!
