Just wanted to report on my experiences with F1. Here's a couple of notable behaviors
1.) Finishes low gravity beers so quick that it is scary. I had a 1.055 get to FG at 3-4 days . Pitched with a starter and almost didn't have time to dry hop in primary
2.) After the first generation, it started floccing pretty well. I must admit that this was actually disappointing! My starters are always the most clear in the cabinet.
3.) I get quite a few spicy Belgian flavors from it. I quite like the taste!
So happy I got it! Thanks a ton
Glad you enjoyed the yeast Regarding #3 and the spicy flavors, it would unfortunately suggest that you have some kind of a contamination in your yeast cultures, as both of these hybrid strains are unable to produce 4-vinylguaiacol (i.e. the spicy phenolic flavor which I assume you are referring to).
I have a batch of yeast ready now, so in case anyone wants to try out the hybrid, please send an email to [my username] at gmail. For those that have already contacted me, I'll be sending out an email to you regarding payment information later today!
