I used all of these yeasts which are great if you have temp control. If you like lagers and can do starters and harvest I would give the south German lager yeast a go to make it worthwhile. I have been lucky My local homebrew shop have been selling expired half price white lab yeasts so I have been snapping a few up, no probs so far with starters! "Allegedly, Diamond Lager yeast from Lallemand is the "Wisenschaftliche Station #308 (Munich)" strain" I can't say i agree. Diamond Lager gave sort of a different profile for my taste buds. Not as malty. It's not W34/70 though. That's the weinstephan strain. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still give it a go though you might have to build it up 2 or 3 times. I'd go a 200ml starter. See if you get some growth then a 1L starter then a 3L starter. You might have to do one in between the 200ml and 1L if there is minimal growth on the 200ml one. It's a great yeast though. And it's super quick at lager temps. I have had slurry/dirty batches ferment out in 3 days starting at 10c. Good advice there thanks @Greenyinthewestofsydney. The colour in the pic is probably not quite right as it was a crappy phone shot but yes it is darker than some of my other live yeast so point taken. As soon as I finish a current spin up of some CCA (ya paying attention here Phil ?) I will have a crack at saving some lives. As you have suggested, start small and not much lost if no sign of life. Be nice to achieve some brews out of these otherwise a big waste of money. Edited February 18, 2023 by iBooz2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, kinda glad I decided to watch the golf yesterday instead of the dumpster fire of that test match. I could get it clearer if I had some isinglass though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 This COPA looks mighty fine in an imperial pint glass. Even if it’s the wrong logo. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Followed by a Guinness clone. First out of a 5l overflow keg I have. Quite useful really - a 23 litre brew gives you a cornie and a 5 litre keg. Litre for litre they cost a damned sight more than cornies, but for my keezer I can fit three on the shelf so it makes for a more efficient system. BTW I messed around with the highlighter feature of the photo so the head looks whiter - it’s still a bit tan coloured in real life…. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red devil 44 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 AG Coopers XPA Clone, very nice, this was a double batch so have another keg of this, happy days.

Red devil 44 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Side by side Coopers XPA, my AG Version on the left, real Mc Coy on the right. Distinct Colour difference as mine is darker. ‘Taste wise reasonably close IMO, Coopers Version is more bitter if anything. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
