muntons premium gold pilsner

Saflager S23 is available from most retailers

Barley Bottom Stocks that, S-189 (Hurrlimans) and W34/70 (Weihenstephan IIRC) . . . Got to say that of the three my personal preference is for W34/70 . . . produces a cracking pilsner if you can keep the temperature below 12C (Ideally), under 15C it's still excellent

That would be all right for conditioning but would be a little bit cold for a primary Lager fermentation. Better to keep in the 11-15 Deg range.

As a Rule I pitch at 13 and ferment at 15 deg C.
