Anybody know if St. Arnold's yeast is sold by wyeast/wlp or if those two sell a similar yeast?
I had a discussion recently with one of their brewers at Petrol Station. I told him I like to brew a St Arnold's brown clone - he told me the closest thing to their house yeast is WLP013 London fermented at 72F.
Digging up a 4 year old thread to ask the Saint Arnold patrons if anybody thinks they have discovered the yeast through trial and error. I want to make a Saint Arnold Amber clone and thought about using s04 so I can use it in a porter and possibly pale ales for experiment (I plan on harvesting). I've used 05 a lot and like it but just want to branch out. I've seen the description for the northwest ale 1332 and pacific ale 041 strains that seem to have a similar description to what the supposed "Saint Arnold" yeast is. Anybody tried this with success? It looks like the strain is used in Amber, Brown, Porter, and IPA. Wondering if 1332 would work in all of those or if I should play it safe with s04.
Thanks
Its a mutated english ale yeast. They found the yeast from a brewery in England they like and guess found a generation that works so they banked it at white/wyeast. Like most breweries use a special mutation of a standard strain that formed in their facility and use/start with it. I am not sure if they bottle condition (probably not) any of their offerings. So, getting an actual sample will be hard.
