What is your favorite house yeast?

[TheCatman]

So far it's S-05 for me.

Though I have been thinking about trying Nottingham. I kind of really want to brew a Blonde, or something else light, with Notty and call it "Notty Light"

WY1450 "Denny's Favorite"

Lulz, Denny.
Though 1450 is a solid strain, I prefer 1318. I brew american and english styles exclusively. It's a good fit for my brewing.

 

[Biobrewer]

WY 1272 for APA/ IPA's
Wy 1968 for ESBs
WY 3787 or 1214 for Belgians.
WY 3711 for Saisons.

DING DING DING!!! Correct answer!

I'll take a page out of your book when I can brew again. Might be a while...

Us-05

I prefer Nottingham. US-05 is a bit dry for me. S-04 is fine at 1.040 but at 1.060+
I go back to Nottingham.

T-58 for Belgians. I haven't use a liquid yeast this year.

Wow, great feedback guys! Anyone else out there care to share? What yeasts continue to impress you?

WLP007

Ferments fast, dry, and floccs like a ton of bricks.

007 here too. Love that yeast. Ferments very clean at lower temperatures and forms a nice tight cake.

Was wlp007 but after doing some tasting at white labs, i am playing with wlp090. I really loved the cleanness and hop presence left with the wlp090.

 

[wailingguitar]

S04 for ales, S23 for lagers... my go to yeast since '98

WLP007

Ferments fast, dry, and floccs like a ton of bricks.

not to mention the high alcohol tolerance.

Wlp002

 

[jbsg02]

I haven't chosen a house strain yet, but have been using 05/1056 almost exclusively. I have had pretty bad luck with US-05, so will be sticking with liquid yeast + starter from here on. The chico strain, although wildly popular, just doesn't flocculate enough for my liking. My next brew I'm going to try the dry english strain in a blonde ale.

1272 has been a staple in this household!
