"New House Yeast"

By: John C. | Date: Sep 3, 2014 | Beer(s) Brewed: Stout, Kentucky Common

Great clean yeast. In my experience higher temps will make beer finish dry and with a tart hint. That may just be me though. This is my new house strain because of how well it performs overall, but especially because of the yeast's ability to ferment at higher temperatures without noticeable fusel production.

"Clean and clear, a natural to pair with oak"

By: Alex G. | Date: Mar 12, 2014 | Beer(s) Brewed: Belgian Strong Dark Ale

I brewed a variation of Stan Hieronymus' Number 8 with this yeast.
Dropped in a Barrel Mill American oak spiral, medium plus toast, in the secondary for six weeks.

I think this yeast accentuates the hop flavor, is clean and neutral, no fruitiness, not overly dry, clears well, and really brought out the flavor of the oak.

I will be using this one again very soon.

"ClassicAles strain, or could be....."

By: ClassicAles | Date: Aug 9, 2013 | Beer(s) Brewed: Old Ale

Tried many times to get this yeast in the past... Now I see it listed! Wanted to brew a "Tennessee" version of an Old Ale on American Oak, but have never found the yeast thru my supply chain. If you use it, please post here, maybe interest will pick up on this strain. Thanks!
