What yeast strain do you use? 1007 was really good!Brewing a batch right now.
This is honestly the only beer my wife requests to have on tap year round.
US 05 every time. The Mrs loved it the first time and I've never changed it up.What yeast strain do you use? 1007 was really good!
Life got in the way and the WLP029 batch never happened. Now I have a fermzillaWill be brewing this tomorrow with repitched WLP830 under pressure. This sounds like the perfect candidate for a lager!
that is way darker that I thought the fizzy yellow beer would be.Enjoying the fizzy yellow lager! Would have to highly recommend brewing this as a lager. Soooo good!

Id recommend a lager yeast for this brew tbh. WLP830 (a better version of w34/70) warm fermented worked out extremely well!this beer looks really great. i recently fermented an APA with 05 at 62 degrees. it is very clean. i always used 05 higher like 70 and never liked it. i wrote it off. but it is super clean at 62 degrees. as good as any other ale yeast. and still pretty cheap. i would have no problem using it again now. i can clearly see why it is a good candidate for this fizzy yellow beer. i will have to give this one a try now.
S23 and wlp860 (dry) are on my to do list!Given the grain bill I would say it definitely sounds like a lager yeast is ideal for this one. I love using Pearle for bittering, but I would probably use whatever dry lager yeast I have sitting around. I have W34/70, S23, and WLP860 dry. I also have WLP940 in my yeast bank which would probably do well with this.
Looks great! Did you use gelatin or anything? That's great clarity on such a young lager. How would you describe the yeast character compared to other lager yeasts?This was brewed 2 weeks ago with wlp925. This works so well as a lager!View attachment 867715
I did use gelatin! I went ahead and started a thread on WLP925 in hopes there will be more information for forum members and in general!Looks great! Did you use gelatin or anything? That's great clarity on such a young lager. How would you describe the yeast character compared to other lager yeasts?
