“AMERICAN AMBER”

By: Matt | Date: Sep., 21st 2015 | Beer(s) Brewed: american amber

 

Great yeast, even though I"m a new(er) brewer this yeast allows me to learn the flavor profile of my hops and grains. I say that because I have used other yeast with the exact same hops and grain and have tasted a difference. Very clean and all the statements of being fast and possibly blowing the cork are true. It happened to me.

 

“BLEW MY TOP”

By: Syksith brewing | Date: Jul., 24th 2014 | Beer(s) Brewed:American Barleywine

 

This yeast was awesome it finished quick, just a warning it is really a super yeast! I was brewing a barley wine, OG 1120, and used a yeast nutrient with the brew. Used a starter over 24 hours in advanced but the yeast showed no activity. I pitched it still thinking it was a bad batched. First day of fermentation still showed no activity, and almost pitched some 007 to save the brew but gave it 1 more day. The next day I woke up to a mess in the cellar; the yeast had fermented so fast and so hard it blew the cork off my fermenter. It kept fermenting so hard for the next 48 hours that I couldn't keep sanitizer water in my bubbler take caution when using this yeast and know that it lives up to its name as a super yeast.

 

“VERY CLEAN AND FAST FERMENTATION - I THINK THAT I'VE FOUND MY NEW "HOUSE YEAST"!”

By: T.Privitera | Date: Jul., 17th 2014 | Beer(s) Brewed: American Style Pale Ale

 

After reading about how clean San Diego Super Yeast ferments, over and over, I decided to give it a shot in an American Pale Ale.
I made a 2 liter starter, to my surprise, 2 hrs after pitching, fermentation was very actively under way!
WLP090 is very clean fermenting, this yeast really let the malt & hops shine through, very balanced.

I am so impressed with this yeast, I started another 2 liter yeast starter and brewed my Centennial IPA, fermentation started 2.5 hrs after pitching, and it is currently fermenting. I cannot wait to see how it enhances the malt and hop profile of this IPA.
I think that I've found my "Haus Yeast"!

 

“CLEAN AND FAST”

By: Carol | Date: Jul., 2nd 2013 | Beer(s) Brewed: cream ale, ginger cream ale, American amber, IPA, Otter Creek Copper ale clone, fest-ale, dunkel-ale,

 

I've used this yeast in many styles of beer and it always ferments fast and clean. I find that it's best for styles that don't have much for finishing hops or dry hopping. The yeast seems to eat up the flavor & aroma hops in my IPA's, other yeasts (like 001)seem to preserve the hop flavor & aroma better than this yeast. Great for all other styles where you want a clean beer that ferments fast and drops out to give you a bright beer. Doesn't seem to be fussy about fermentation temperatures. A great yeast!
