Mike has been going nuts with brewing up lagers at room temperatures. When you get a yeast strain that has been proven successful at producing quality beers through non-traditional processes, you keep at it. Let’s learn more about this warm fermented amber lager!
Brewed Warm – Tastes Good
This is the second time Mike has brewed a lager with the Fermentis SafLager W-34/70 yeast strain. The first time was a light colored lager that was great. This amber lager had more malty goodness in its flavor profile but the end result had the qualities of a lager – low fruity esters and a crisp finish.
I have a packet of this yeast too but I am going to brew my lager the old fashioned way. My temperatures will be at 50° F (10° C) and I will store the beer in my fridge at the coldest setting for 6 weeks at least.
We will see how that beer comes out in a future video. BREW ON!

Hey guys, greetings from Munich. Those mugs are great for a dunkel (even better if they’re in 1 liter size, Prost!). From one of the latest videos with John’s lager, Mike mentioned that you guys were thinking of trying another yeast. Besides 34/70 are there any other dry lager yeasts that you have tried that you were happier with?
John
I have used SafLager S-23 Fermentis Dry Lager Yeast and was happy with the results.
Thanks Chris!
Rick
Do I understand you only used ONE package of 34/70?
I want to try this and want to be sure. Thanks!
John
Hi Rick – yes, just one packet. Brew ON!
