Please add your favourite liquid yeasts here giving its number and name and what you brewed with it and most importantly what you thought of it ,
I'll start us off,
White Labs (WLP) 400 Belgian Wit Ale Hoegaarden/Celis
I brewed a Hoegaarden clone with this and it has been my best brew to date , it was very slow to start off and although reviews say around 4 to 6 weeks to ferment mine was done in around 2 weeks . I have since brewed the same recipe with a lesser yeast and the results are very lacking proving this is a great yeast with a slight spice and fruity taste to the beer brewed.
White Labs (WLP) 300 Hefeweizen Ale Weihenstephan 68
This is also an excellent strain and has a full flavour with heavy notes of banana (a little too heavy to be honest but still nice) I kept the recipe simple so as to get the full effect of the yeast and i would use this again although i will be trying wlp 380 that is meant to have more clove and less banana I brewed a standard wheat beer 60% wheat 40% belgian 2 row
White Labs (wlp) 550 Belgian Ale Yeast Ardennes
This 1 brewed like a rocket on fire it had to cope with a high OG and seemed to brew well but too early to drink as yet but first sample is very hopeful ,I brewed a Witkap Abbey ale clone with mainly belgian 2 row and candy sugar ,this will be edited at a later date
