I thought it was their April Fool's joke at first. Pretty cool idea. I wonder how the ratio holds up after making a starter.
I have stored cultures of both, which makes me think I should try making my own version of this by making starters of each and blending. Just a thought...
Used the search function instead of starting a new thread. Any thoughts on a good style for this one? MoreBeer was giving away coupons for a free vial of it at the AHA conference. I figured, hey, free yeast is free yeast. I'll give it a try.
I would think this strain is a little strange. It would be very hard to keep it neutral, 62ish might bring out the dreaded peach ester of 001 and about 65 would bring out the fruity ester of 002. I would love a new strain of 001 that flocced like 002 but thats about it.
I think that's called 007 or 090.
What kind of lag time does this yeast have? I pitched 18 hours ago. Wort was good temp and had plenty of oxygen, and I've got no activity.
I've used 007 a fair amount and I'm on my second run with this. They're similar. Still leaning towards 007, but I'm trying a harvest run on 200, going house pale, two-hop IPA and then a DIPA to get a better feel for it.
