Hey brewers- I just decided to brew a cream ale (which is just 7 lbs pilsner and 8oz Carahell and Saaz hops) and I usually go with Wyeast 1056, but decided to try this Cream Ale Yeast Blend from White Labs. It's a blend of ale and lager yeasts (According to MoreBeer.com,Homebrewers have speculated it is a blend of the WLP029 Kolsch, WLP001 Cal Ale, & WLP810 San Francisco Lager but has never been proven.)
Attenuation: 75-80%
Flocculation: Medium
Fermentation Temperature: 65-70F
Alcohol Tolerance: Medium High
I brewed this on Tuesday June 24 and it took off pretty good. The fermometer reads 67f- so its right there for optimal temp.My beer is low gravity (1.041) and it looks to be almost done in the primary. I will give another week before racking to 2ndary.
I can't find any reviews or talk of this yeast anywhere-so anyone out there use it? I will post with a review when the beer is done.
Cheers, Tim
