Hi all! Getting back to brewing after a long hiatus. Have a pale ale kegged and carbing (first homebrew session in a couple years) and was planning another in the next week or two. Was thinking a pseudo lager/blonde ale. I had read that Notty dry yeast fermented on the low end of the temp range can yield a dry finish for a nice pseudo lager.
Does anyone have any liquid yeast suggestions? Was hoping to get some grainy maltyness balanced with the hoppyness.
I can lager in my kegerator, but it gets crowded when I shove a keg and co2 can in there. Plus I want a yeast that would be a bit more forgiving since there wont be any flavor malts to mask any off flavors or esters.
I was looking at WY2575 (Kolsch II), WY2112 (California Common), WY1099 (Whitbread) and WY1087 (Bohemian Ale). However I'm definately open to suggestions.
The recipe is below. It's simple but I may tweak it a bit between now and brew day, but this will give an idea of what I'm facing.
8.0 lbs 2 Row Pilsner
0.25 lbs Aromatic Malt
0.25 lbs Carapils
0.4 oz Saaz (whole cone) 50 Min
0.4 oz Saaz (whole cone) 10 Min
0.2 oz Saaz (whole cone) whirlpool
Single infusion mash (temp is yeast dependent).
Thanks in advance for the input!
