Hi, I am looking for a yeast with lots of estery fruit character but I'm not really a fan of beers with lots of phenol spice like flavors. I'm thinking of making a white ipa like beer similar but not exactly like chain breaker. I'd like to go with similar or more fruit character than chain breaker and less phenol if possible (yes I realize it's already pretty low on phenols or at least the citra hops cover them up pretty well). So does anyone have suggestions on yeast strains that have high esters and low phenols?The yeast doesn't necessarily have to be a Belgian yeast but my guess is that it will be because they tend to produce the most esters. Also if there is a fermentation temperature and pitching rate where phenols are minimal and there are still plenty of esters that info would be appreciated as well. I can keep the temperature within 1-2 degrees of my target temp with my setup and I have a 2l flask and stir plate so I'd really like to get everything pertaining to the yeast component of the beer really dialed in for the flavors I am going for. Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.
