As good as 34/70, half
"As good as 34/70, half the price"
Always good yeast
"02-05-17: Been using this yeast for years and save some after bottling to use in next batch. Always starts fast in starter jar with teaspoon of corn sugar for first batch of year. Email me (philsaun44 at gmail.com) for my complete beer making procedure which is online. I have made over 220 batches in my time so have the process down well. Worth it to check out! Phil"
Great dual purpose yeast
"I use this yeast for lagers and kolsch beer. If fermented around 60-65F you get the right ester profile of the popular German koslchbiers. Below 55F and it is very clean."
