Bavarian lager yeast

Picked up a pretty fresh pack of wy2206 yesterday. Going to pitch it 2 a small batch to build it up. It was fresher than the Munich yeast. What can I expect from this yeast

I love 2206 and have used it extensively for malt focused lagers, many times re-using slurry gen after gen. It starts fast and chugs along in the lower 50s, attenuating to 80% most times, finishes clean and flocs well.

I used it recently for a pilsner using my standard czech pils recipe and it may be one of my best pilsners yet.

You can expect the best lager you’ve ever made in your life.

Cheers.

I’m another fan of the 2206. I’ve tried WY Munich lager and WY Bohemian lager as well as dry 34/70. I like the 2206 best.

OK just transferred the Bock with the 2206 super clear super clean taste.
