Back story:
I am currently testing a ton of different recipes for a Scottish ale. I got tiered of trying to maintain 55-60 degree ferm temps with WL and WYeast scottish yeasts and noticed another brewer hade good clean results with WL Cali I at 65 (much easier for my set up to hold)
I mistakenly grabbed WL Cali V in a hurry and could not be more disappointed with the character.
Obviously the wrong choice for what I was trying to accomplish, but it got me thinking...
Anyone use this strain for a style and like the outcome? I really don't like the character but am sure thee has to be some kind of application where it shines. I'd hate to write off a strain with one bad experience.
Thanks!
