I brewed this to compare the difference between wlp 830 and wlp 833. I haven't tried the 830 yet, but the 833 is pretty much the best beer I've ever made. So good I had to share. I will update with the taste difference with 833 once I carb and taste it.

I know I cut and paste from other people's recipes (or maybe just copied outright, don't remember how I put the recipe together), so my hats off the the HBT community.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what did you use for hops and schedule?

and maybe I like 833 better. I really couldn't tell much of a difference between the two. Still have about 2 gallons of each left. Tasty, but there wasn't as much difference as I expected.

How does the taste 2206 vs 833 compare ? I've been using 2206, but might try 833.

they were similar. 833 was a bit more malt-forward, and had a cleaner finish.

2206 kind of stuck around in the mouth for awhile.
