As a stupid experiment I’ve gotten 1056, 001, US-05 into the upper 30’s F and they still fermented fine.

I love this.

A Siebel Institute graduate and the former head brewer at the Hofbrau, in Addison Texas, always used Wyeast 1056 for their house lagers. Not sure the ferment temp, but it was cold, probably around 50 F.

I find that hard to believe considering they claim to brew it according to the German purity law and call them lagers.  They either import their beers or brew them with German recipes.

look, they may not make perfect examples of classic german pilsner, but i heard from someone that they are the best german pilsners outside of germany. i wonder if they use water treatment?
