WLP075 Hansen Ale

[BrewingAroundtheRrealm]

The Vault is cool but it takes too long. But, were so close now for the release of WLP075! Obviously my plan for Social Media and Home Brew Club exposure flopped. :|

I agree with that. Sometimes it does take forever.

Thank you to whoever got us to 14!

Since this is a blend, do you experience any drift or changes through multiple generations when reusing the yeast?

 

[Beer-lord]

Last time I got this yeast, I over built and used for 6 generations. Since I used it for a number of beer styles, it's hard to tell but I'd say any variations were minor. But I'm no pro, just a guy who loves to play with yeasts.

How is it different from a clean, well attenuating yeast like, say, 1056?

I think its a bit more balanced and sightly drier.

 

[BrewingAroundtheRrealm]

12 orders to go!

 

[Beer-lord]

If it gets down to 2 and doesn't move, I'll order 2 more just to get them going.

 

[Nagorg]

I'd order more but I have 4 on order already.. :|

 

[Spin711]

Just put an order in. Thinking of doing an IPA with it to start

 

[singybrue]

My order is in. 10 to go!

When those who've not tried this before do brew with this yeast, please post back on your thoughts, what you brewed and how you think it compares to what you normally use.

 

[Beer-lord]

This is like watching paint dry!

 

[Nagorg]

White Labs should have a rule that allows release if orders get this close and sit for for some length of time. If just 5 brewers bought 2 vials each we'd be on our way! (Y'all didn't know I was a math wizard did ya?)

 

[Beer-lord]

Dead standstill! Bummer!

 

[mcl]

I guess I will play.

Well done and Thanks!
If we get down to 2, I'll buy 2 more.

 

[brewswithshoes]

I'd probably buy another if I knew this wasn't shipping in June/July.

Honestly not psyched about the one I already bought as I doubt it's going to get to me in a super viable form.

I want this yeast but not looking forward to having to do a 2 maybe 3 step starter.

Hopefully others from past vault orders that have received in Florida can prove me wrong.

I just pick an expired one up in January for 3.00 because it was expired

Does Hansen form a tight yeast cake (tighter than 1056) at the bottom of the bottle like the English yeasts?

I wish I could answer this but I never really gave it much of a look. I don't recall it being any different than the Chico strain but I honestly can't tell you one way or the other. Maybe try to email WL. The few times I have, they did get back to me.

Alright, I just bought one.

Just like a wife, we know nagging really works!

 

[redarmy990]

Just bought 2 more to try to help you all out, that means 3 vials will be heading my way.

Come on someone lets get this done tonight

 

[Spikybits]

i got another - its at 4 now

 

[Spin711]

Just ordered another

3

 

[Nagorg]

HBT ROCKS!! Cant wait for this yeast...

 

[Beer-lord]

Well, I said if it got down to 2, I'd buy 2 more so 3 were left and I grabbed 2 more for a total of 4 so I left 1 pack. Who wants to be the one to take it down to zero?
Then I have to ask, how long will it take before it's released and shipped? I can't recall how long it took last time but I think it might have been almost 2 months but I hope that's not the case. We should all send an email asking them to feed the yeast some Popeye Spinach to help if grow faster.
(Anyone old enough to remember Popeye?
