Based on the responses here, two packs of Wyeast 2124 were purchased. A 10 gallon, split batch will be brewed. Very tempting to do one with Diamond, as we have had such good results with it…most of the time. Particulary in German lagers…Pils, Schwarzbier and Festbier.
My Diamond harvested yeast slurry is so many generations old, I may just start over with fresh 1st generation yeast.
W-34/70 is another one, although this yeast fell out of favor with us after trying Diamond.
I brewed a Bo Pils about a year ago with WY 2001 PC , said to be PU yeast. The beer came out great, one of my best. I entered it in very large contest and
metaled and went on to a mini BOS round. The next time I brewed it the WY 2001 was no longer available so I used WY 2124. I had used 2124 in some beers before, Vienna, German Pils and one other I can’t remember right now. That beer went on to medal and mini BOS round also. I can say Wy 2124 worked well in these styles.
I have recently bought some dry yeast, Diamond for a Vienna, and Mangrove Jacks 84 Bo- Lager for another Bo- Pils. The Vienna is conditioning now and the Bo-Pils is in the fermenter. The MJ 84 is supposed to be PU yeast so I’ll see how they compare to the others. I also bought some S-189 that I’ll try in a Baltic Porter later this summer for drinking this Winter.
