  1. I’ve used 2124 for all my lagers this winter. Its a decent yeast – my pils has come out quite well, which I’m really happy about. Too bad you didn’t grab some yeast from me when you could!


  2. I didn’t realise you had been using that yeast…. 2308 is my usual yeast of choice but I thought I would give this a go as I am trying for the Weihenstephaner hellos and apparently 2124 originates from that brewery… we’ll see.
