Anyone used this yeast from morebeer.com? If so, thoughts.
Hmmm...this talk of spicy/peppery character...
I used a few packs of the Cellar Science Cali Ale from More Beer for some 1-gallon batches that turned out fine. It seemed to act like US-05. I noticed my local shop was also carrying Cellar Science so I got a few more packs. I used them both in different versions of an IPA. Both times they had a bit of a pepper note and accentuated the bitterness. The second batch was made with my homegrown Chinook and a spit ferment with BRY-97 and Cali Ale. At least one guy at the homebrew club thought the Cali Ale version was a pretty decent Saison.
I know that Fermentis labels S-33 for use in some Belgian styles, but I am not sure that S-33 (or Nectar) should have phenolic spicy/pepper notes. I get the impression that it can get a bit estery at warm temps. I definitely would not expect that in a Cali Ale strain. So part of me is wondering if there are issues with the Cellar Science packaging process. If these are just repackaged Fermentis, I figure I will just stick with the Fermentis packs.
