Any recommendations for the best yeast to use when brewing a schwarzbier?
I'm going to brew a schwarzbier for an upcoming seasonal, and having never done one before I thought I'd ask those of you with experience for yeast recommendations...any thoughts?
I usually use Whitelabs as my supplier, and they are recommending either their Southern German Yeast or their San Francisco Lager Yeast. I'm concerned about ester production on the southern german yeast (seems more appropriate for a bock then a schwarz) and I'm a little iffy on using the San Fran yeast as it's intended more for brewing a steam beer (sorry fritz!).
Thanks in advance for any recommedations...
