Brewer's Best Falconer's Flight Extra IPA

[monty67]

was thinking about picking this up for my next brew and was wondering what anyone thought about this kit.

 

[monty67]

was also thinking that if i did that i would want to move to a different yeast, something that isn't dry. Any suggestions for a good yeast for an ipa?

 

[monty67]

anyone?

I am Brewing this tonight, I am just going to use the us 05 dry that it comes with

I've heard the us-05 safale is a great yeast for Ipa's.

I've used WLP500 and WLP520 and had great results with my 2 IPA's I just brewed.

wyeast greenbelt (from AHS) is an excellent IPA yeast

I saw that AHS's Falconer's IPA uses the Greenbelt yeast. What kind of properties does it show in the palate? I noticed the description said fruity and I was apprehensive. Not sure if I'd want an IPA tasting fruity.

You shoukd check out AHS 20th anniversary kits right now. Their IPA has falconer's and is $20!

US-05 will make a great IPA; nothing wrong with dry yeast.

Something fruitier that I like in my IPAs is Wyeast 1272. I don't have any experience with Greenbelt, but it makes sense that AHS would use it in their kits because if I remember correctly they had to guarantee to move a certain amount of the stuff. I'm sure that they've had no problem at this point.

I brewed the bb version with the safale o5 last monday. My gosh does it ever smell good. Wish I could fast forward 6 weeks so I could taste it

 

[DirtyD]

Mine has been in the bottles for 1 wk now, I tried it last night and it is goood! Nice aroma, good but not to much bitter has a nice head on it already too! Try it again next week but so far very impressed

Bottled: Brewers Best IPA
Primary: Deciding
Secondary: Brewers Best Holiday Ale

WLP007, WLP001, Wyeast 1056, and S-05 are all great American IPA yeast. Please post your tasting notes for the Falconer Flight... I ordered a pound since it has a blend of my favorite hops.

After tasting the brewers best version i love it. I prefer safale 05 for my ipas. Its up to u wether u go with bb or ahs. Im sure they are both great. Like someone said above its not overly bitter. Butits got all of the flavor u would want in a great ipa

 

[Veedo]

You can never go wrong with US-05, I use it for nearly all my different brews.
