WLP001 on the left from a batch awhile ago - Greenbelt from this batch on the right - same gravities, same process 


Cool experiment. Thanks for adding the photo. Wish I would have got in on the testing panel.
Sorry no strain number. I guess we should have assigned it one. We we only required to come up with a name.
As soon as I saw that yeast I knew I wanted to make an APA or IPA with it. The only problem was I was leary about liquid yeast being shipped long distances, with temperature fluctuations and such. Guess I'll just order some and see how it turns out.
I'll also probably use this yeast to try out pitching directly onto a yeast cake. Maybe I'll make my first recipe a 1.050 APA and make my second a 1.090 IIPA and see how that goes.
Those beers look nice, I could not get my Amber with Greenbelt to drop clear, even after a week long cold crash + gelatin. Did you filter or just give it time?
Not having much luck with this yeast. Made a nice big starter(750ml) as per usual, used yeast nutrient in the boil.
Over 24 hours to get going, which is slow by my standards. Last 3 batches on my new setup all were ripping after 12, and completely done within 4 days. On day 5, it's still at .024, crap. Krausen is almost dropped, but still a thick skin on top. I don't get it.
Wow. Total opposite for me. Stuff went crazy for me.... more than any other i've used.
Any more impressions of the Greenbelt strain?
