lager yeast

[rd2nowhere]

Just supping a rather lovely pint of coopers pilsner. Tastes fantastic, but despite.being about 8 weeks old the sediment in the bottles is still very loose. It doesn't bother me, but I haven't encountered this with the ale yeasts or the ale/lager yeasts. Is this to be expected?

Exactly which yeast did this beer get fermented with?

[rd2nowhere]

Kit yeast that comes with the pilsner kit. So deffo a lager yeast.

I've always found it to settle well and would consider an 8week old bottle as vintage.

taste wise it is pretty vintage. Lovely.

It's certainly my best lager brew to date, I knew it was going to be a good un when I opened the tin of extract because it smelt gorgeous!

I assume the kit lager yeast could be s-23, because coopers refer to it as a commercial dry lager yeast.

I think that there is a very good chance that the yeast is actually Mauribrew Lager 497
