I have a pack of the 1450 for Denny’s Rye IPA. Brewed this several times, but not with the recommended yeast.
Any suggestions for a smaller beer for the first beer, then use the yeast cake for the Rye IPA?
Anyone can comment, not just Denny!
How about an APA?
Maybe an Ordinary Bitter. :-\
A British beer with my yeast??? Please!!! 
You never know…it might be awesome. 8)
my house APA became my favorite all time APA when I switched to 1450 with it - Simcoe/Amarillo - can’t go wrong.
my favorite beers with 1450 have actually been dark beers - my house porter and my munich based stout were killer with it.
I have 2 APA’s in process. So I am leaning to a porter right now. Thanks for the advice.
Check out my Nick Danger porter recipe. It works great with that yeast.
I am sure you spent some evenings back in colloge listening to Firesign Theater. ;D
Don’t crush that dwarf, hand me the pliers!
or my all time favorite line “Come in out of the cornstarch and dry your mukluks by the fire”
hey denny - I think you got your wires crossed between Nick Danger and the BVIP - look at the notes at the bottom of the link you posted…
Thanks for the catch, Paul! Doing too many things at once today! I fixed it (again!).
only happened to notice as I remember I needed to learn how to use the recipe wiki as a couple folks asked for my Dort and Viennabock recipes!
The recipe wiki rocks! It’s a great single location for archiving recipes. I intend to get all my favorites in there eventually.
will be trying to use it tomorrow morning - might be asking some questions, unless a cave man can do it.
In the main page for each style, there’s an “Add A Recipe” button that provides great instructions. I don’t know about cavemen, but I think even a financial guy should be able to do it!
I’ve only used it once and that was in a Brown Ale. I think the beer turned out great.
aha - figured it out - took a bit of figuring, but its easy once you get the hang of it.
Good on ya, man!
As my internet research has convinced me that 1450 is North Coast’s strain, I would say it produces excellent pale ales and stouts. You could try a dry stout with it - though you would have to work extra-hard to make sure none of that dark roasty beer ended up mixing with your fresh rye IPA wort.
