WLP090 San Diego Super Yeast

[Ceejay]

Anyone used this yet?

It's now available all year round, and was thinking of using it instead of WLP001/US-05 for my American style beers,as it's supposed to be more flocculent and really fast fermenting, whilst retaining all the clean characteristics of WLP001.

We used it when it first came out last year. It was very good in our American pale beers :thumb:

Great stuff. How does it compare to WLP001 or US-05 in your opinions?

 

[kev]

Taste-wise there's no difference in my opinion to 001 but it fermented out fully in 6 days. I normally need about 10 to get proper attenuation with any other White Lab yeast.

Cheers Kev :thumb: . I just checked out your webby BTW, and it looks very interesting. I built a BYOC pedal last year, and yours look really decent, not to mention better value :thumb:

Wandering dangerously off topic there...

The price of BYOC is shocking.

Back on topic - if you want a vial of San Diego just shout. Got any yeast to trade?

That's awesome, cheers! I don't have any yeast to swap yet (just bought a vial of WLP002 but you probs have loads of that!). I can certainly buy one you don't have, split it and send you some though. :thumb:

Aye no worries mate. Give me a shout when you're sorted.
