Brewferm Lager Yeast

[pms67]

Anyone used it?
Will one packet be enough?
Also,I don't have brewing software yet,can anyone tell me how much lager malt to use for a session beer around 4% ?
I'm looking to do a smash beer, I have Galaxy,Amarillo and Wai-ti hops,not sure which will go well.
Any help appreciated 👍

Try using the forum calculator. ..are you cool fermenting? I suspect 2 packets...

Never used it myself but If I was I'd just go with the standard 'rules' for lager yeast. If your fermenting at 15C or below use 2 packs. If your going for a steam beer and fermenting above 15C just the one should do the trick. (this is always assuming it's a full 10g-11g pack and not a 6g or so pack)

Have always used either saflager or mangroves jacks and fermented at 13 degrees with one packet. Worked well for me. think both are either 10g or 11g sachets

I think it's more than 6g but I also have a Mangrove Jacks Bohemian lager yeast,I may chuck that in too?
Cheers

Just started a young's harvest lager with that one on Sunday, but have used MG yeast before with good results

The general consensus is to use two packets for lagers. But I've been following a thread over on jims, which indicates we need a lot less yeast to ferment out our beers than we think (possibly coming from our American cousins and their conservative yeast calcs)
