Going to switch fermentor over to 34/70 from K-97 tomorrow after a 4 batch run. Never used that one before, makes a beer w "personality", which I think I like, most of the time, but going for cleaner tasting fare for the foreseeable future, 'cause it is lager time.
34/70 does a good job the adjuncted lagers I like to run when temps have not got down to pilsner level. Have fermetor temp control, but is not the most robust, so I go tend to along with cellar temp.
Anyway, I usually sort of wing it, will be like this, depending stock rotation of grain and what is open;
10 gal batch.
10# pilsner malt
5# two row, probably MO or Golden Promise.
2-3# rye malt,
1-2 flaked corn.
FW, 1 oz N brewer
30 min boil, 1 oz something semi neutral or noble
post whirlpool hop step at approx 160F, .25 home grown leaf cascade.
dry pitch 34/70 and set temp to around 57F.
