Anyone ever get phenolic aroma from a lager yeast, is it even possible?
I am building up a starter of WLP860 from a slant and I am getting a phenolic aroma(clove) from the second step. I have used this a yeast a few time but don't recall getting phenols.
Doing the starter at room temp(~70F) which does not seem too high for propagation to cause stress.
