Youngs Lager Yeast

Great thanks @terrym It's already showing decent signs of fermentation. Hoping it (the warehouse) doesn't warm up too much between now and then!

Just an update if anyone is still watching this thread, found out that the Youngs Lager yeast is actually a rebrand of 'Mauribrew L (Lager-497)' whatever that means. Here's a link to its info http://www.gwkent.com/media/pdf/product/3565/mauribrew_Lager_497.pdf I humbled across it after a bit of a Google search

Favourable flavours at temps 15-30c! Well I’ll be jiggered.

I'm taking the info with a pinch of salt, made a 2L starter with it and pitched it at 20°c and set fridge to 16.5°c. No activity after 12ish hours, gonna check after breakfast and see what's what. Fingers crossed

Pitched at 20c, temp set to 16.5 and its hovering between that and 17ish. No airlock activity yet but the bucket lid has domed slightly and looks like a krausen is forming so fingers crossed
