I have been brewing for about a year and a half. I do all grain and have a great variety of recipes I like. I also lean pretty heavily on the S-05.
That being said, I work in a lab, I have access to tons of lab equipment, and I really want to start toying around with yeast this summer. Before I do so, I'd like to try out some new liquid yeast strains.
I am looking for some of your absolute can't miss favorite strains for:
IPA
Pale Ale
American Wheat
Stout
And any other ideas. I've brewed with white labs heffe yeast (300?) and liked that. What I am really in search of with this thread is a good jump off point for the basic ales.
I prefer to brew my beers big- but not TOO big. (6ish ABV)s
Any advice is greatly appreciated, I am going to make my order sometime this week. Also, any comments on comparing yeast brands is greatly appreciated too. (For example I feel like I've had mixed results with Wyeast... White labs has treated me much better.) I wonder if others have had similar experiences??
