Forgot to post a picture of the finished product! This was a small sample pour from a month ago. 1007 is nice and clean if it has enough time to lager.

Brewing a batch right now.

This is honestly the only beer my wife requests to have on tap year round.
 
Life got in the way and the WLP029 batch never happened. Now I have a fermzilla ;) Will be brewing this tomorrow with repitched WLP830 under pressure. This sounds like the perfect candidate for a lager!
 
Packaged this up 2 days ago and dosed with gelatin. Love this as a crisp lager more so than I did an ale. The carbonation is almost there already due to pressure fermentation and the clarity should be good enough by New Years Eve to proudly serve this on tap! The sulfur needs to age out just a pinch. It's just a pinch over barely noticeable. This reminds me of a nice, light, lager with a hint of nuttiness and toast. The yeast and pressure fermentation really made this batch! Will post pics once it's fully carbonated. I can see this being a rebrew for sure! For anyone brewing this I'd recommend wlp830 (hefty pitch) fermented at 64F ambient controlled air temp at 15psi.
 
Enjoying the fizzy yellow lager! Would have to highly recommend brewing this as a lager. Soooo good!

Well it's getting a good month and a half to 2 month lager now. Giving the ol liver a nice reset and spending some time dropping a few lbs ;) Can't wait to try it late Feb/early March!
 
Circling back to this recipe. Going to rebrew this using WLP925 in a few weeks. Going to brew a Helles this weekend, rack Yoopers Fizzy Yellow Beer on to the yeast cake, then use that third repitch for a dry hopped german pils. Just wanting to get an idea of what WLP925 does, or doesn't, bring to the table since there's not much information available on this strain online.
 
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.

Id recommend a lager yeast for this brew tbh. WLP830 (a better version of w34/70) warm fermented worked out extremely well!
 
Just racked this onto a wlp925 repitch. I'm trying to learn the strain since there's not too much information available out there. Anywho I can't wait to try this once it's properly conditioned and kegged!

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.

S23 and wlp860 (dry) are on my to do list!

I will say 34/70 (well wlp830) works well with this recipe warm fermented! I used wlp940 a few years ago on a different recipe and banked it. Don't remember much and didn't take any notes doh!
