10 Gallon batch split in 2. what yeats to use?

I'm making a pale ale with marris otter, vienna, victory, c60 and c120 using amarillo and simcoe hops. og of 1.058, 45 IBU.

going to split the batch in (2) 6.5 gallon fermentors. one will get WLP001. What would be another good yeast to use? my LBHS carries white labs. Im new to the liquid yeast and only been using S-05. ive done a couple liquid yeast batches but want to experiment with some others.

thanks

How about WLP008 and have a little East Coast vs. West Coast battle.

My vote's a Belgian yeast.

im from the east coast, live in socal west coast. not a bad idea.

what will the belgian do? i heard cali belique by stone is the same stone ipa recipe but uses a belgian yeast. similar effects? i like that beer.

Same basic idea. Also see Raging ***** by Flying Dog Brewery, another solid Belgian IPA.

I'd do an English yeast like White Labs 002 or 007. Check out how the ester profile fits your beer vs the neutral 001. I'm using 002 on my next Pale.

what would you suggest from white labs for belgian yeast?

thanks

My favorite White Labs Belgian is WLP575, which is actually a blend of WLP500, WLP530, and WLP550. Great clove flavors and overall a very smooth flavor profile. Works especially well with hop forward recipes IMO. I did an IPA with it that was very similar to Stones Cali-Belique.

+1 on the WLP575. It's my favorite White Labs Belgian yeast right now. It's a wonderful blend, and I'm surprised that there isn't more talk about it. I try to keep a few vials of it on hand at all times.

In all fairness though, I've yet to use it in a pale ale.

well i think ill give the WLP575 a shot.

Try a Belgian, have some fun. I have use WLP 500 and 530 depending on the ester character I want. 500 is more estery than the 530.

well so the 10 gallon batch split into (2) 5 gallon beers and each a different yeast made a completly different beer.

this one is WLP 575, the Belgium blend. its got a more fruity flavor and a tad spicy but very good. and came out cloudy



and this one used WLP001, its very clear and the hops shine through more. very floral



and the recipe. both cold crashed with gelatin, and kegged.

They both look delicious. Amarillo and simcoe might be my favorite hop combination, and the yeasts you chose are two of my favorites.

I must say beer #2 looks sooo Delicious. And I've never used a Belgium stain....


However I will use a Belgium strain soon just because.
