WC-IPA with WLP-029

[Tony B]

I have been considering trying this with a Pilsner malt as the base and using Citra, Amarillo and Sabro.
Thoughts or experiences with something similar?

A couple of years ago Home Brew Mart (back when they were still owned by Ballast Point), brewed an "XPA" for Homebrew Con.
It was pilsner malt, Vista hops, and K-97. Pretty similar to what you're describing. It was delicious and I brewed a couple of similar beers back then.

That’s awesome to hear. They are my LHBS or LHBM as it may be. Love those guys.

We usually go in Friday nights. About every other week for a couple beers and ingredients for a batch or two.
We didn’t make it this week. Too busy. Im planning to stop in after work on Tuesday and do a night brew.

I've used 029 for many hoppy styles ( amber, APA etc ) and it is quite clean and lets hops shine. It was my house yeast for a while. Great yeast. Ironically i didn't think it was good for kolsh. Too clean
