WLP037

[jeff]

Anyone interested in a pitch of WLP037 (Yorkshire Square yeast)? It’s one of the White Labs “vault” yeasts. I’ve been looking for it for a while and finally found some, which I’m stepping up. If you’d like me to bring some to the meeting next week I’m happy to. I thought it might make an interesting alternative to 1318 for NE ales, as well as a nice barleywine yeast (apparently it has a habit of very high attenuation in addition to being super flocculant).

Another alternative is Juice by Imperial ;)
Cheers,
Matt

Is that the Boddington’s strain?

Matt - is Juice the same strain as the one Jeff is talking about?

It’s my understanding that Juice is 1318, which is the (excellent) Boddington’s cask strain, while 037/Yorkshire Square is the Timothy Taylor strain most notably used in Landlord bitter (and particularly suited for open/Yorkshire Square fermentations). I don’t know how similar they are, though.

Ah. I think Imperial A05 (Four Square) is the Timothy Taylor strain, equivalent to WLP037/WY1469. Jeez.

The chart we got from Mark Gillette states that A05 Four Square is Wyeast 1469 West Yorkshire (brewery source is Timothy Taylor), but the chart is blank for White Labs. Wyeast describes W1469 as "This strain produces ales with a full chewy malt flavor and character, but finishes dry, producing famously balanced beers. Expect moderate nutty and stone-fruit esters. Best used for the production of cask-conditioned bitters, ESB and mild ales. Reliably flocculent, producing bright beer without filtration."

Jeff said he wanted to use WLP 037 (White Labs describes it as "This yeast produces a beer that is malty and well balanced. Expect toasty flavors with malt-driven esters. Highly flocculent and a good choice for English-style pale ales, brown ales, and milds. Used in the White Labs Tasting Room for certain ale recipes, including stouts and American ambers.") instead of London Ale 3 (W1318) for NE ales and barley wines. WLP 037's alcohol tolerance is Medium to High and its attenuation is only 68% to 72%.

Matt suggested that Jeff could (alternatively) use Imperial Juice, which is common for NE IPAs.  I forgot what Juice is, but I think it is a British yeast with fruity esters. It might be what Wyeast chooses to call London Ale 3, but I've heard it called by another name (besides "Boddington's cask"). Alchemist Brewing uses Conan yeast, which is Imperial's A04 Barbarian yeast.

I've never heard of "nutty" esters or "malt-driven" esters.  I am intrigued.

I have a very old bag of West Yorkshire yeast in my fridge, and don't need any more, thank you anyways.

Paul!
