Great Bo Pils Yeast Culture |

I have been brewing all-grain beer off and on for 28 years. Having used cultured yeast that I plated and slanted for most of the time I have been brewing, I am not a huge fan of dry yeast. However, to my surprise, S-23 produced the best beer I have made in all of the time I have been brewing. I am talking about hundreds of batches of beer. This yeast culture allows delicate malt and hop flavors to shine. The finished beer has the same slightly fruity, floral, herbal, fresh mown hay flavor that is found in Pilsner Urquell when it is fresh. I have been chasing this fermentation profile for 28 years, so this yeast strain is money for anyone who wants to get close to the flavor of Pilsner Urquell using dry yeast and a simple grist of 91% Pilsner malt, 9% CaraHell, and Czech Saaz hops. I believe that S-23 would also make a good Pre-Pro Pils with 80% 6 or 2 Row, 20% flaked maize or gelatinized corn grits, Cluster for bittering, and Saaz or a blend of noble hops for finishing.

Not very clean for a lager yeast.
