That sounds like a great fermentation program. I typically run my pressure fermented beer to a serving keg, so I can reuse the yeast. I am cheap and try to get 6 uses out of it. This one might be nice to keep in the starter flask, and just bump start the starter a day early... FWIW - I am brewing a batch of simple lager with Novalager now. It is slow to start but looks alive...
So I don't have problem with Lutra Kveik in making lagers and I think it does a great job. However it is not cheap, so I was very excited to see Nova lager and got me some. My first brew with it is planned next week so you have been very timely and encouraging having made such a superb beer with it. Cheers Dudes 😊
I use the omega dry and it’s not super expensive. More than most dry yeasts, but not terrible. I want to say it’s like $3.75 a pack at my local HBS. The biggest problem I have with it is when it loses its freaking mind at 12-24 hours. A blow off tube is absolutely necessary.
So happy you guys liked the yeast! It's really a game-changer as far as I'm concerned. I'm keen to brew with it again soon. John's Mexican Style Lager looked & sounded a treat. Looking forward to Mike's NovaLager brew. Cheers & brew on!🍺🍻
Nice video as allways Dudes! I´we used the NovaLager yeast in two consecutive brews in the last month, works great in my opinion. Second brew on the slurry from the first. First brew in keg for two weeks by now, very crisp and clean,. According to David Heath, Lallemand suggests it will ferment clean up to 23C/73,4F, I stayed under 18C/64,4F. Skål!
I've just started using NovaLager in my last batch of lager. I really like the fermentation. I was using dry Lutra in my lagers, but find they are missing something. They're good, clean beers, just missing something. I have a Mexican style lager (NovaLager) ready to keg and can't wait to taste the beer. A split batch comparison video between NovaLager, 34/70 and Lutra? Thanks for your efforts.
I used Nova at 15°C in making an Enigma Pale Ale, then followed up with a Biere de Garde wort (OG 1.072) into the FV on top of the yeast lees. That one fermented at 19°C and finished at 1.014. Rather pleased with both beers.
i did a mexican lager with a twist i used 0.5 oz of amarillo at fwh. then saaz and hallertau with 0.5 oz of tettnang at flameout it came out really different but really nice
Not long at all. One week conditioning for the primary vessel after fermentation. Racked to keg with gelatin and it was in the fridge for a week. - John
Trying to copy this recipe, and I went through the comments and transcript so I wouldn't have to bother you with a stupid question, (and here I am anyway lol) but John didn't mention the size. Since he said it was kegged, I assumed it was 5 gal. Is that correct? Thanks

Wet Toast is a great band name!
ROCK!
As a lazy brewer, I’ve been using Lutra for my lagers lately and love it.
Try Nova and stay tuned for another upcoming NovaLager yeast beer. Cheers! -Mike
Love to see a clear beer. Beautiful Vienna lager color - achieved through strictly traditional means, of course… wink wink. Nice one!
If I had more patience, I would let it sit in my fridge for a few weeks after racking to a secondary. But I don't! - John
Just did a helles with novalager and i was really impressed as well! Seems like its here to stay!
@theapartmentbrewer Agreed. Need to branch out into more and more lager styles too and put it to the test. Cheers! -Mike
Looking forward to seeing the recipe! Great vid
Check out the blog post that is linked in the description. - John

@@WhydoIneedahandleagain I wish, here in the UK it is the equivalent of 11 dollars a pack. Nova Lager is half that price.
Cheers!
Thanks for another great video guys!
Thanks for watching!

Thanks much. More to come. Cheers! -Mike
Ha, americans talking metrics is so funny and same time confusing 🤣
Cheers guys. We missed you in SD homebrewcon🍺
Wanted to hit HBC this year but some other life stuff was going to get in the way around the same time. Cheers! -Mike

Great tip! That higher temp range makes lagers more accessible to more homebrewers. - John
Looks wonderful. I'll have to give the yeast a try.
Definitely!

Hmm - interesting yeast comparison idea. - John
Love Mike loving the beer
❤
You know it's good when Mike is happy. - John

Whoa man... Pretty good Spicoli accent at 4:52....just learning about Mexican style lager and having some beers
Nice - thanks.
Whole different feel with this one. So much positivity. Keep it up and people will accuse you of being Californian🤣
Good beer makes us happy. - John

That sounds tasty!
damn that sounds good.
It was! - John
nice video 🍺
Thanks 👍
Can't wait to try this. How long did you lager this beer?
Not long at all. One week conditioning for the primary vessel after fermentation. Racked to keg with gelatin and it was in the fridge for a week. - John

You are correct! - John
you guys need to try a tipopils clone if you didnt already ,,(sorry if i missed it)
I was just reading about it actually. I'll have to try and track some down. Cheers! -Mike
How does this compare to 34/70? I ferment that in the low 60s for lagers as well and get similar results.
I think it's cleaner than 34/70 but it's worth a comparison. - John
