I just made a brew thinking I had some lager yeast but I can’t find it
I do have
04
05
M44
“Craft cider yeast” probably it is actually champagne yeast
Or I have a few lagers with a yeast ring in the bottles but I would like to pitch yeast as soon as possible so might not have time to make a starter with that??
Will be fermenting in the garage which will probably be 10-12 degrees ambient this week which would have been perfect lager temps...
Thanks in advance everyone.

Re: Help 04 05 M44 as lager yeast
Probably a bit late but - not S-04 and not wine yeast. So it's a toss-up between US-05 and M44, not much to choose between them.

Thanks NB - as it happens there was enough in a couple of bottles of other lager I brewed to make a starter in quick order and all has worked out fine.
Has been at 1 degree for a week so will be bottled soon. I used tapioca instead of rice flakes as we had some. Doesn’t seemed to have caused too much of an issue!
