    We did one batch with pacman and one with american ale ii. However the recipes were the same. Although we brewed them, is there suggestions for next time?

    Have you thought about using a Cali Common yeast and basically doing an Imperial Steam? 'cause you've got me thinking about doing that, now...

    I just want to recommend WLP005, White Labs British Ale yeast.

    I did a pale ale with 10Lbs. Pale 2-row and 1 Lb. Caramel 40L, with Stirling hop additions.

    The WLP005 added a very slight sweetness in the front of the crisp, clean beer, and the Stirling followed up with a spicy/herbal bitterness. It was wonderful! I am tempted to make ALL of my Pale Ale/IPA/Bitters/Similar recipes with this strain, because it is awesome.

    -Oh, yeah- and this was a very young beer. The fermentation was complete after 94 hours, and I was drinking it at 10 days after brewing (1500 ml starter [shaken]).

    Try this yeast! You'll love it.

    I do not work for White Labs, but I admire their work.
