    Anyone use this yeast? What type of beers have you used it in and what was the outcome? Any advice for optimal fermentation temp for a relatively clean finish? There's not much written about it and I was recommended it by my lhbs as a sub for Wyeast American Ale II. I'd be using it my india brown ale but don't want too many fruity esters or for it to mask the hop profile. Any experience would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I just transferred to secondary and dryhopped so not sure quite yet. I fermented at 60 degrees ambient temp and the fermentation was vigorous. Reached FG in 5 days. The gravity sample tasted great with the malt profile accentuated, but still a really nice integrated hop character. Also have a smoked porter going with a slurry from the IBA, interested to see how it comes out. I'll be sure to update once they're done!
