San Fransisco Lager Yeast
Has anyone ever used this yeast besides on a Steam beer? I brewed a steam beer and the yeast worked great. I brewed a German Pilsner yesterday and threw in a 1.6L San Fran starter and its going pretty well at 59F. I was just wondering if I can expect some flavors that might not be totally appropriate for a Pils. Anyone have experience with this yeast?

I only used it once on a steam beer, but I don't see why it wouldn't work on a pilsner. Maybe it may have a bit more sulfur to it, but that's the only thing I can thing of. I have heard of some brewery's out west using it for porters, stouts, and schwartzbeir.
