I'm curious if anyone has done a big beer +1.065 and loved this yeast. I have the rye in primary and want to harvest the cake for a big beer. Thanks!
Yooper said:That is my favorite all-purpose strain! I have an APA dryhopping now, a rye IPA in primary, and I also love this strain for my oatmeal stout. It's my go-to strain for all my American style beers. I did a great lower ABV version of Janet's Brown Ale with Denny's, and I thought it was terrific.
I would use the 1450 for just about any style that doesn't require an estery profile or a Belgian profile! I just love it.
The only (minor) criticism I have of this strain is that it doesn't clear the beer very well, and requires some time in cold storage to flocculate out.
This rye will be my first 1450 beer - what do you think it adds to an apa that is missing from a wlp001 with the same recipe? Body? Less attenuation?
Thanks!
Yooper said:It's about the same attenuation. But the Denny's seems to really enhance the malt flavor while still allowing the hops to shine through, while the 001 seems to dull the malt flavor, if that makes sense. The other thing I've noticed is that the Dennys seems to provide what I call a "luscious" mouthfeel. It's not that the beer has more body or is more carbonated (I've done a 10 gallon batch, 5 gallons side by side) it just has this mouthfeel that is richer. Yet, the beer isn't underattenuated or sweet in the least.

Hey Yooper, I have been working on a lower ABV version of Janet's myself. Care to share your recipe so I can compare notes?
