Brewing lagers at 8°C — just like old-world brewers — is making a comeback. But how do you balance tradition with modern efficiency?

In this episode, Mark and Richard unpack a study testing four lager strains at three different pitch rates to see how fermentation performance and flavour hold up under cold conditions. From the surprising strain-dependent results to practical recommendations for brewers, this is your guide to brewing clean, crisp lagers at low temperatures without sacrificing time or quality.
