Fermentis has quality yeast. Their W 34/70 is a great yeast for lagers. The S-05 is a beast that works for any ale. The T-58 is great for a dubbel or biere de garde.
If I am using dry yeast it is Fermentis.

I am thinking of buying a different yeast to use than what comes in the kits I buy next time. I used the coopers lager that came in the kit I am doing now and it took a couple of days to get going.

I have two brew kits I just picked up from Blaine that both use Fermentis Yeast. Both kits are over a year old! I'll use a starter for both. We will see how they work!

I did not look at my Coppers pilsner from him I got. It had 10/04/10 on it. We need to check the dates better when we get one. It seem to be working fine so far. I hope it taste good. I used a can of Briess light pilsner in it as well the OG was1.051. I figure it should take a week and a half or so to ferment out.

Once your lager starts working, get it to the coolest place you have, basement or even refrigerator (40 - 50 F). Anything below a 1.015 would be about a 70% attenuation. That would be pretty darned good. After a couple of weeks, bring it back up to room temperature for a day, then bottle or keg and refrigerate. Once refrigerated, let it sit for a while to lager. Take sample's until it's to your liking!

The lowest I can get is 68 or or so the house temp I live in a moble home. I may do the wet t shirt thing if you don not think it will mold on me. Do think it will still turn out good this way? It is around that now.
