Hello, the data comes from more than 50 trials. Thank you for your question. If you want any further information, you can reach us at brewing@lallemand.com.
What are test brewers actually comparing this new hybrid strain with? There seem to be no valid comparisons. I'd expect this issue with home brewers, to be fair.
They are comparing to their house lager yeast... So Type I or Type II pastorianus(Saaz or Frohberg). Frohberg would include 34/70 or the traditional Weihenstephan strain.
This is kind of an unofficial 2nd part to the October podcast about lager yeast if you haven't heard that yet. It gives a little context to hear the other one first.
Hello John, we have done benchmarking of LalBrew NovaLager™ performance relative to popular commercial Group II (Frohberg) lager strains. We also have a detailed Lager Strain Selection document comparing performance relative to LalBrew Diamond and LalBrew Nottingham. www.lallemandbrewing.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/LAL-bestpractices-Lallemand_Lager_Strain_Selection-bifold-digital-2.pdf
@@LallemandBrewingThanks, it's an interesting lager yeast. I pitched a pack @ 0.5g/L about 36 hours ago and it's already well under way, dropped 15 points @ 12°C. That's actually quite impressive for a dry lager yeast pitched @ 0.5g/L, ime. I'm looking forward to repitching it at a higher rate in a few days 🤞
Brewed three batches so far. I think I prefer it repitched, but that's my preference generally with dry yeast. Marketing claims hold up. Impressive performance for a lager yeast. A worthy "type III" lager strain. Well done to its creators 👍 I like it and I'll keep a pack or two in the fridge. It expresses a pretty good lager character with minimal maturation. I don't consider it a replacement for my favourite lager strains. If time weren't a constraint I think I'd opt for Diamond Lager, if using dry yeast. Otherwise, Novalager is going to be a better choice. I'd absolutely recommend it, especially for a Pilsner, for the novice lager brewer and those in a hurry. The bottom line is it conveniently simplifies production of a genuine lager.
What was the total number of surveys conducted? This is a missing key point.
