Schwarzbier yeast

[NPi]

Hoping for some opinion (and you guys have that in no short supply, what are your thoughts on s23 vs M84. I have a litre of M84 slurry put into the fridge at bottling yesterday, or a healthy starter of S23, started earlier this week.

I'm wanting a more crisp, less malty, not so hoppy beer, if that's any help.

Thanks all
Nick

M84.

M84.

Any particular reason, or just preference?

Bump - anymore for any more? Set to be pitched later this afternoon.

I haven't used either, but rumour is that they are the same strain. What about a split batch to see if it's true? @Pennine split a batch with M76 and W34/70 which are supposedly the same, but the resulting beers were very different.

I'd love to give it a try, but with a porter still fermenting I'm a bucket too short.

Interesting you say they are from the same strain.

I may give s23 a go so I can compare, all be it not directly, in my mandarina na bavaria lager. Only to help matters further, I've split that batch into 3 already, one dry hopped, the other bottled and the final with added orange zest.

It can't be called excessive drinking if it's for science right

The description of it seems to match the crisp edge you said you wanted.
