WHC dried yeasts

[Clint]

Hello all
Just wasting an hour on Malt Miller website and came across the WHC dried yeasts...anyone tried them?

 

[MartinHaworth]

Yep! I've successfully used Old English + some of the club brewers have used Saturated (as a cheap alternative to Verdant).

They sponsored our last homebrew comp, so they do give back as well.

<also available from CML>

See the recent thread https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/whc-banana-split-yeast-and-other-whc-yeast.105219/

I think I have only used Saturated and normally stick with cml.

I've used the Bond & Banana split & been very happy with both. And that little bit cheaper than I'll happily buy 2 & get a good pitch rate!

Not had a good experience with the 2 I have used Clint-sorry

I’ve had good experiences with Saturated, LAX, Apres Ski, Einstein and Olde English.

A single sachet of Olde English took my impy stout to 11%ABV!

I’ve used old English a few times very similar to Nottingham yeast in fermentation time and esters

I used them regularly as we get a bulk buy deal direct from them with the local club and never noticed any drop-off compared to the Lallemand or Fermentis equivalents. Mainly use Einstein (34/70), Bond (S-04, I think that name has now changed), Old English (Nottingham), and LAX (US-05). I did prefer Hoppin Pils over Einstein for lagers but they've discontinued it recently and I'm down to my last few packs. Their Kolsch yeast Bier Bitte seemed to disappear around the same time Lallemand Koln did too.

I've just used whc saturated for the first time, sampled a couple of pints last night 12 days after brew day.
Whoops.... It was only supposed to be a taster.
I will definitely use it again.
