I know some yeasts are better than others at a quick turnaround. My question is this: is Pacman a suitable yeast for a quick turnaround? I’m talking grain to glass in 10 days with a 1.050 brown ale.
My other options are Wyeast 1318 and WLP029.
It’s like betting on a horse race, but I’d bet Pacman would be faster than the other 2.
WLP007. Pitch at 66F, free rise to 69F. That thing will easily be done in 3 days and it is a strong flocculator and attenuator so it will drop clear pretty easily and attenuate to 75-80%. I like to crash cool mine to get it to drop out a little quicker.
I vote for Pacman as well. The times I’ve used that it’s been a beast and chomped through the brews in short order.
I know you did not list it but could you get WL090? Would be perfect here
WLP090 might be Pacman. While labs admits it’s not from San Diego. Morebeer list it as equivalent.
Somewhere I have read that White Labs stated that 090 is not from a San Diego brewery, but that it was an in house developed strain. That was read on the internet, so take some grains of salt.
I recall it is from a homebrewer in San Diego, as the story goes.
While the homebrew store a block from my house carries white labs, they have been unable to get any WLP090 - apparently their orders haven’t been filled lately by White Labs due to their moving to a new facility.
