Below is this coming Saturday's muse.  I've been wanting to use corn for awhile now.  The question is, do I use a healthy slurry of German S-189/34/70 combo or smack a pack of WY1728 Scottish Ale?  I'm confident this simple recipe would shine with either choice.  As always indecision may or may not be my problem

I would go the lager yeast route if it was me.

[Genesee Ted]

Another vote for lager.

I know a guy who brewed at Genny for 40+ years. He told me that at one time, the Cream Ale was a blend of 12 Horse Ale and Genessee Beer. I believe now they make it on its own with their lager yeast.

[Poptop]

I always thought Genne was an ale yeast no?

[Genesee Ted]

I’m friends with the guy who runs their R&D, I’ll ask him, but I thought it was lager.

I'm sensing a pattern here hahahaha.  I guess it would be good to get another use out of that wonderful slurry. 

 

But I need a good "next recipe" for that Scottish Ale yeast.  Never made a shilling beer..... hmmm....

[jayb151]

Shilling is a great choice...but another vote for lager.

 

I've actually got a fresh cake that I'm considering for use in a session IPA. The flavor of the yeast is just so good!

I read that at your site and also listened to Drew's podcast on it.  Can go either way.  

[jayb151]

I've actually got some Omega Bayern. It's some really good stuff!

Very good yeast as many here would agree.  I ran a pack of that 5 times last summer

[Bklmt2000]

My 2 cents: if you have 34/70 up and running, or a fresh slurry on hand, use that for lager version of the OP recipe.

Your .02 is the right choice.  I actually have a healthy pile of a mixed slurry S189 and 34/70.  Several batches back I had a pack of each and combined them and made a delicious Vienna Lager.  So lately I've been buy them for that purpose.

[Genesee Ted]

So my old timer says it’s ale. I’ll check with the current dude soon

Interesting

Lager yeast it is and very timely since I just received my copy of Beer and Brewing which is replete with Pilsner articles, kicked off by Drew Beechum. Inspired!!!!

I only listen to the podcast and read their website... is the magazine worth the subscription price?

I listen to their podcast and Holl along with Auggie Carton's "Steal this Beer."  This is my third copy and I have to say I like the magazine.  It blends homebrewing into commercial and so far the topics have been enjoyable.  There is always a themed style showcase and in the last pages of the magazine they point out many commercial styles for those of us who still purchase beer (for R&D purposes hahaha)....  This particular issue is Pils centric and Drew articles the Light Lager.  Also other articles on Pils.  Good timing for Saturday's brew   If you can, try and  listen to Steal this Beer episode 196.  Very Pilsner inspiring - Bierstadt Lagerhaus

HA .. I have been listing to the same 2 podcasts lately. 

 

I will have to run to B&N and see if they have a copy of the magazine.

 

ETA: Bierstadt Lagerhaus was also on a Beer and Brewing podcast and worth the listen
