I'm designing a high gravity baltic porter @ 1.080 OG, and I'm having a tough time deciding on what yeast to use; I'd love some suggestions.
I'd like something that's pretty clean, letting the malt and adjunct character shine through (planning on adding some molasses). At the same time, I'd like it to be pretty clear, so medium to high flocculation.
I was thinking about WLP002 English Ale since I've used it in the past with good results for Bitters... But I've heard that for baltic porters, I should really use a lager yeast or at least cold-ferment with ale yeasts. Anyone used 002 at low temps with success?
