Great yeast for a Wee Heavy
Last batch of the spring before higher temps make fermentation a challenge to control. Used 8 lbs of the Williams Nut Brown LME as a base malt and added a pound of steeped 420L Carafils for more robust color and flavor. Added a cup of steeped whole oats to add a silky mouthfeel. Yeast started fermentation immediately and held up to the higher alcohol nicely. Also threw in a fist sized chunk of the WIlliams charred spiral oak for some barrel aging during fermentation. Will keg after three weeks and try to make sure it's gone before Memorial Day, or as I refer to it as the start of Pilsner Season. Cheers!
Excellent
A great yeast to let the malt flavors come through nicely. It ferments very quick at room temperature. One of my favorites.
great yeast
Nice clean yeast that really lets the malt shine. I started using this yeast for my Scotch ales but have since moved on to using it for so much more. It has a wide temperature range and is very versitile. Overall great strain.
Malty
Made a Scotish 80/- with this yeast. Fermented fast and clean. Will use it again.
Great for high-gravity British ales
Pros: Cleaner than most UK yeasts, with a high alcohol tolerance. Quickly drops clear once it's finished. A no-brainer for strong Scottish ales, but great for other UK styles as well. I've currently got this going on a 1.100 Wee Heavy, and in five days it's down to 1.037 and not slowing down much. When that's done, I plan to wash and pitch to a strong Irish stout, and perhaps an 80 Schilling ale as well. One of my favorite yeasts, very versatile!
Cons: None, it's a somewhat specific strain that also has a wide range of applications.
