Just thought i’d share i have used this yeast recently on a whim, and am quite happy with it. Fast, clean and clears up quickly.
Yes, it is expensive, but it can be re used and i’m not overly concerned given how much i brew.
Don’t see a lot of reviews around it, though where i buy it from seems to sell a lot of it.
I used US05 in the early 2000s for most beers, but went off on a british ale tangent. Came back to US05 maybe 10 yrs ago and get peach with it everytime, so don’t use it anymore.
Anyone else here use it regularly ?
In the last few years ive used 029 german ale for hoppy beers. I find it very clean ( i dont use it for kolsh ) and a great performer. Thought i’d try a dry yeast
I’ve used dry WLP001 a few times, and it’s a reliable performer. Your observations–fast, clean, and quick to flocculate–matches with my own experience. Yes, it is indeed pricier than other dry yeasts, but then again I enjoy having the variety.
Like Denny, BRY-97 is my other go-to for American ales.
It’s great to have so many dry yeast options nowadays!
