So for all my IPA's thus far its been good ole s-04 s-05 and Notty for yeast. While they are certainly fine yeasts I'd like to try my hand at some liquid yeasts. Whats your go to yeast for a great IPA?
Conan, and it's not close.
Conan, and it's not close.
Wyeast 1217-PC, West Coast IPA, rumored to be from Stone brewing.
I use the above, and Wyeast 1764-PC, Rogue Pacman, almost exclusively for ales.
Love 'em.
I use a temperature controlled fermentation cooler and start at the low end of recommended temperatures for the first few days and then slowly ramp up towards the high end. 1217 (62-74deg) & 1764 (60-72deg). Have always gotten good, clean, tasty, beers. I don't brew enough to experiment with temperatures.how are these on temps. And where does one find the paceman strain anymore. I ferment in my basement where ambient temps are now around 61 deg and summer maybe 64deg ambient. Are both the strains u mentioned real sensitive to temps before throwing esters. Typically in the high point of fermentation my temps within the carboys get to 70 deg. I'd also like to try something diff than the 001, 04, 05 I use now for my ipa's and apa's.
Any difference in Omega's or Gigayeast's version of Conan?
Isn't Wyeast 1056 AKA Pacman?
I don't think so. 1764 is the number for Wyeast Rogue PacmanIsn't Wyeast 1056 AKA Pacman?
Does white labs make a pacman strain?

Supposedly wlp-090 is really similar. Ive never used pacman, but that's what Ive read
+1
Just used this on a Pale Ale and an IPA...my new, favorite hoppy beer yeast by far. Like it so much that I will will learn how to cultivate the yeast just to keep some on hand at all times.
I know that's the Chico strain ie Sierra Nevada beer strain, how similar that is to pacman, the rogue beer strain, I have no idea never used either. I may try ithe 090 in my dipa just to see what happens. I love how these breweries claim "house" strains of yeast that have been around forever.
Can't believe I'm the first to say Wyeast 1272
Conan, and it's not close.
I think I'm gonna have to try some 1272 and 1217. Both in stock at my LHBS. I'm using a ton of citra these days so I think those sound would complement nice because of the fruity esters. Any suggestions on temps? I'm not a big fan of the banana esters so hopefully these don't produce those. Thanks for all the suggestions
My favorites....
1. 007 dry English ale
2. 644 it's not Brett yeast
3. Conan
4. San Diego super yeast
5. SA-05
Not in that order...but these are my house strains...
I am currently brewing an IPA with a Conan Brett mix from the yeast bay called "funk town". This may be my new IPA play toy....it fermented a 1.078 to 1.014 in 3 days. I let the temp get up to 73 as an experiment. I wanted to see if the Brett funk would be more pronounced. I racked into secondary and dry hoped it. So far a very clean and fruity beer...similar to 644. I think this is going to be a great strain!!! Stay tuned for details.
