Saflager yeast: the way to go for the Pilsner

It's been a long time since I've posted, and an equally long time since I brewed. The 'breakdown' brew I wrote of in February was a flop; I blame two things: extended time in the fermenter due to having the Intrepid laid up for a month with a broken timing belt, and the off-brand yeast I used because the brewing store in Dearborn no longer carried Saflager.

At the moment, I'm deep in my Turbo Acclaim project, working on wiring, and haven't had any good homebrew for months. I am asking Santa for some mail-order Saflager yeast and some other brewing supplies, and will probably resume brewing in January. Since the MML is coming to town for NAIAS, I might even heat up the garage and brew with them while they're here...we'll see!
