I used this yeast on a high gravity barleywine I made.
I used a starter on a stir plate for 24 hours. I cold crashed it, drained all but a few ounces of the starter, I let it come to room temp for about 2 hours while brewing. SHook it up and then added to my wort.
Fermentation started within the hour. It was a vigorous fermentation. See the youtube video below:

I ended up putting a second blow off tube on the second port of the cap. Fermentation continued vigourous for 72 hours and then slowed. This is the 4t day and the beer is already clearing. I will test gravity in the next day or so but it looks like it is done.
I like this yeast, it was fast and cleans up great. Fermentation temp was 68 degrees.
WLP001 and WLP090 are going to be my choices for most of my American Brews.
Thanks
Joe
