Hi lads
By any chance would any of you have a spare packet of Saflager w-34/70 yeast?
I'm planning to brew a Vienna lager on Friday evening and just realised that I need 2 packets of this rather than 1.
I'll order another one but it might not arrive for the weekend.
Thanks
Keith
Unfortunately I don't but could you build a starter to strengthen the yeast a bit?
Build a starter ... i can borrow you a diy stirrer for that if you want .
Cheers lads, I don't know if that's an option for dry yeast,especially at short notice - I guess it would need a few days ! I have another packet on the way from the HBC so if that arrives tomorrow I'll go ahead as planned.
Delay your brew day and get the correct amount of yeast needed. I presume this is a Lager and 1 packet is definitely not enough,sometimes its 3 packets. On the Lagers your best get a wet yeast and grow a starter.

Cheers for the advice. I think I'll stick to liquid yeast in future and make starters.
Thankfully The Homebrew Company sorted me out, I rang yesterday morning and told them the mistake I made, more yeast was delivered today, great service!
