WHC - Mango Madness. Meh, not bothered.

Get that. But normally they say so and the names are a bit closer (more
guess-able)
Midlands = Nottingham
The firm = Windsor
Etc

Or have I missed something with London Ale III?

It does say on the CML website similar to London Ale 111.
I can not see a name that relates too like they normally do

Did you think I was making it up

Whoops did not read your other post.

Ah, ok. I had it in my head that clipper was verdant, but you're right, it just says LA3. but verdant is an offshoot of LA3. .

I like their naming, but don't know what "clipper" relates to

 

[MashBag]

I don't know what London ale III is either? Anyone?

Notty/Windsor have been around for so long they're effectively genericised, you can get versions from Muntons etc.

Whereas a) Verdant is the trademark of the brewery and b) it's a new thing, so Lallemand's lawyers will have been all over it.

The fact remains that they don't make their own yeast, and the only sources of dry members of the LA3 family are Lallemand and AEB. So it's going to be one of those two, and Geterbrewed seem to have got the exclusive on AEB for the British market.

I've used clipper a fair bit. It isn't verdant... Verdant takes off with an insane krausen, clipper comparatively subdued. WHC Saturated is my guess.

A Thames Clipper boat if it is a dry LA3.

I’m using Mango Madness this week on a porter (MM Fast and Festive Vanilla / Rum porter).
Never seen a review of a beer and been tempted to brew it in that alone but the recent YT video got me tempted!

Out of interest, have others rehydrated these yeasts before pitching or pitched straight in?
Can’t quite believe how they take off so quickly!

Put it straight in, no need to rehydrate

Thanks @Rakey, excited for this one :)

Have you tried Verdant?
It'll go from zero to finished in under 48 hours.
