"I absolutely love this yeast"
By: Tim
Date: Nov. 9, 2009
Beers brewed: Bitter, Porter, Mild
Comments: I absolutely love this yeast, I hope White Labs brings it in as a year-round strain. It attenuates very well, top crops like no other yeast I've ever used (which makes it great for harvesting), and works at a variety of temps. The final product has a wonderfully complex ester profile that isn't overwhelming. It leaves a beer that's dry but has a full mouthfeel and works well with malt and hops. Probably my all-time favorite yeast!

Comments: Love this yeast. It should really be a year round strain. It attenuates well, and has a lovely ester profile. I used it with 50/50 Maris Otter and Lager Malt. Hopped with a combination of Magnum and Amarillo. So much easier to work with than Burton Ale.

Comments: Fermented at 70. Primary for 1 week and secondary for 2 weeks. Produced a clean flavor with a fruity profile. Used at "expiration" date using a starter. Yeast fermented very vigorously and produced an unpleasant sulfur smell around days 3-4, but disappeared within another day or two.

Comments: Premium Bitter is a very vigorous yeast with an excellent ester profile. It compliments the strong citrus profile of American hop varieties. In my experience it has been highly attenuative. I wish it was a year round strain. Thanks
