New White Labs Yeast

Post by Matt F »

Anybody play with this yeast yet. Looks interesting.

WLP090 San Diego Super Yeast
A super clean, super-fast fermenting strain. A low ester-producing strain that results in a balanced, neutral flavor and aroma profile. Alcohol-tolerant and very versatile for a wide variety of styles. Similar to California Ale Yeast WLP001 but it generally ferments faster.
Optimal Fermentation Temperature: 65-68F
Attenuation: 76-83% +
Flocculation: Medium-High
Alcohol Tolerance: High

Matt,
They were advertising this at NHC. We talked to the WL person at their booth and she said it was basically the same as 001 but ferments faster. Outside of commercial brewing I'm not sure that advantage is much of a big deal. I amounts to maybe a day or two difference. Time will tell as people try it.

The things that caught my attention were the higher flocculation and attenuation in the description. I have been using mostly English Ale yeasts lately and like their character at low fementation temps and high floc. Think I will keep playing with WLP 007.

I tried that with my latest Pale Ale. I fermented with S-04 at low temps. Turned out well. I've hear that hop compounds can bind to suspended yeast and when the yeast drops out it can take some flavor and aroma with it. So I wanted the yeaast to drop out before dry hopping. I'll have to try a side-by side one of these days.
