I’m surprised it didn’t take off – you would have thought Scotland had all the right conditions for brewing lager.
Jacobsen managed it in his mother’s washtub and it should have been the same strain of yeast! I’d love to know how Muir received the lager. Any clues?
I’m surprised there aren’t more earlier lager sightings considering that we had a German as Prince Consort from 1840 on.

Gabriel Sedlmayer II had met Scottish brewer John Muir during his study tour of Britain. In 1835 he send him some bottom-fermenting yeast which Muir used. He was very pleased with the results and only abandoned bottom-fermentation due to problems with propagating the yeast.
