What are your experiences with wlp060 in terms of hoppyness and bitterness in IPA? Any impact on hops flavor aroma and bitterness? Muted? Elevated? So far only used wlp001 and 051. Cheers

So should I expect something similar to 001 with just a touch of 051 and anchor lager strain? I am planning to brew an American porter. What do you think how 060 will perform?

Hi all I've got wlp060 in the fridge for some time and thought I would brew american robust porter. Any thoughts on that? Any experience with that particular strain of yeast? I am fairly satisfied with 001, malty and hoppy, good balance, everything. The white labs say wlp060 taste more lager...

I have never had a problem leaving for two weeks in primary. In fact that's how I do it with all my beers, from pale ales to stouts. If longer conditioning is required then secondary it is.

64 ? That low? For how long?

Interesting. I had almost no lag phase, within 7 hours very active fermentation. I hope it does not come off of my fermenter as I do not have a blow off tube. I have 3 gal head space above 4gal of 1.066 stout. Do you control temperature while fermenting? I keep it at the lowest recommended.

Those of you who used wlp023 burton ale yeast, what are your views on this strain? What's your experience in terms of performance, fermentation, taste etc... what have you brewed and how did it turn out with wlp023? Cheers

I would use simcoe for bittering instead of cascade. Overall hop combo is very cool. If you are really up there for aroma then I would eliminate 30 min hop addition. What I usually do in my PA is only one bittering addition at 60 min and then move everything to knock out and do at least 30 min...

Yeah I looked at that recipe. Do you think wlp023 will fit nice with it?

I was gonna use some roasted barley but I read in numerous sources that in classic British oatmeal stout roastiness should be limited. Even brad smith says in his blog that roasted barley is a no go for oatmeal stout. Regarding the wlp023 , yeah, I chose these little fellas for that fruity...

Hi there I have wlp023 been sitting in my fridge for some time since I was sold on their fantastic performance in stouts and porters. Since then I have been searching for some recipes that actually used wlp023, experience with it etc and surprisingly there are very little (at least on the...
