WLP037 Yorkshire yeast

[mickyfinn]

Being a yorkshire man i thought as it was available i would give these beasties a try. MMiller got em in so ordered some anyone with any experiences or tips for em. With it being a platinum strain its only available for a few months a year so would like to maximise brews from it, Will be doing a split to start with. Suggestions please

I quite liked it the one time I used it. It is *very* flocculent and forms a very stable sediment. You might want to rouse during fermentation as I believe that would be normal for yorkshire squares. I didn't and it worked out OK but not like ttl in the yeast profile. I also found it was much better after a while in the corny with a bit of venting than in the bottles so you might want to think about putting it in secondary for a while if you are bottling. Rousing might help with this, might not. I can't say as I've only used it the once without rousing.

Thanks for suggestions and tips.Especially the one about bottling, is this because the yeast dosent want to stop fermenting?

I'm not sure tbh, I have found that some yeasts have smelly by products, it is good to give these a bit of time to vent out. If you go straight to bottle you trap them in, I think.
