Okay, I’ll play around with some other strains and see if that helps.

Hello All, I recently have started brewing lagers (have five batches under my belt so far) using pressure fermentation. I have not brewed a lager in the traditional sense before. My lagers are coming out very clean so far using 34/70, fermenting at 58 deg F, and fermenting at 12psi. I have...

I found this yeast to mute my hop character a little in terms of aroma and later hop additions. The yeast really shines. I fermented warm- keeping it between 95-100F. I dry hopped at a lower temperature around 70F. I don’t feel that the yeast added any bitterness, more that it mutes it slightly

Sounds good- please keep me posted. Despite a huge hop bill this yeast is still front and center with my beer- I am definitely curious on other applications with it. Cheers!

Just brewed a douple IPA with this... tons of pineapple and mango, tons! Fermented near 100F with no problems.

My next batch is going to be a double red ipa, which I’m going to use Citra cryo hops only. I’ll see if I experience the same and let you know. Did you enjoy it?
