How have you found the various liquid lager yeasts?

In a word superb. I just wish I could put in words the subtle diffrences between them. I keep returning to the 2042danish and 2124bohemian though 2278czech pils and 2007 pilsen are nice. It's suprised me how with the same kit, DME and hops each one makes a different beer. I've really got to get set up for splitting yeast and making starters, would save a fortune and it would be good to have a decent yeast bank.

All sounds good, I will definitely be brewing the Czech Pils recipe again at some point this year.

Liquid yeasts are pricy compared to some dry one's, but a sachet of w-34/70 is nearly a fiver from some suppliers, at which point a liquid strain looks like VFM.
