saflager s 23 tempreture range

[brydo]

alright guys, on the back of the packet it says tempreture range is between 9oc to 22oc, ideally between 12oc to 15oc. has anyone used this yeast strain at 18oc to 22oc? it must work at those temps im just wondering how well and if my lager will still be crisp at that temp or if its better to wait till the cooler months to get brewing lager again. cheers guys

From memory, based on reading only, I believe you'll get more fruity flavours from lager yeasts at higher temperatures which can be a pretty cool experiment. I think that'd conflict with the crisp lager taste that you're aiming for.

interesting, ill give it a bash. ive got a good selection of grain coming over the couple of days might be time to expand by taste buds.
