Worked reasonably well but stalled when I followed my usual lager fermentation regimen. No issue with rousing and stepping up the temperature, but I don’t usually have this issue with the WLP counterpart. Made a nice enough end product it just didn’t perform as well (for me) as the counterpart does.
