CRAZY Yeast Experiment

CRAZY Yeast Experiment | Smash ALE

In this episode we're doing a CRAZY yeast experiment - a smash ale, 4 way split batch by separating a single batch of wort into 4 different fermenters and pitching 4 different yeasts. We then taste them side by side to see how much of an impact just the yeast has on the finished beer. The beer we make is fairly simple, just Maris Otter and Zula hops (a new hop!). Our assistant brewer in this video is Jo Doyle, the Education & Engagement Curator at White Labs. She's a BJCP Certified Beer Judge and Certified Cicerone, so she's a real pro when it comes to beer. If you're a fan of White Labs, yeast, craft beer, or homebrewing this video is for you.

Correction: The correct ABVs for these beers based on our numbers is - WLP001: 6.43% WLP066: 6.17% WLP518: 6.04% WLP644: 5.91% In the White Labs video, you may notice they got different ABVs than us, that's because they're using professional lab equipment.

What were the ferm temps? That has a huge impact on ester production, especially running the kveik strains hotter than normal. Just curious, because I would have run the WLP001 at 62-66F and the WLP518 @ 86-90F. The yeast variety chosen was great though, I love these kind of videos! NVM, just read the article and all were fermented at "room temp", my statement still stands on my preferred temps... 001 cooler and 518 hotter.

@ClawhammerSupply 3 жыл бұрын

We didn't have room to temp control them all so they were all done at 70ish. This did cause problems with acetaldehyde, as you'll see in an upcoming vid

@@Cerevisi You're definitely correct. There are a lot of variables we can change for these types of trials which will drastically change the results. Check out these info sheets (scroll down to the second page) to see the kinetics of split batches with different strains. Look at the high and low-temp kolsch to see how it changed the fermentation timeline. www.whitelabsbrewingco.com/white-labs-beer-portfolio

Yeah that 518 is a beast but you have to abuse it and pitch/run it at 85-90F or it will stop short.

So the London fog gives fruity notes and can be used with ipas or pales an also u said alot of styles so does the packaging actually tell u what aroma or whatever that this yeast will give so say if I go shoping for WL yeast will each one have an explanatory info on what taste that it will give

After all the beers I’ve brewed, I’ve have yet to notice any tannin flavors from squeezing the bag. Since I’ve been brewing with the 240v system, I always rake the grains in the basket to get any additional moisture out since I don’t sparge the grains with the system. So far all beers have been fantastic. Just brewed a maibock and expect it to be fantastic as well. Cheers!

@Magnumscoffeefreek 3 жыл бұрын

The theory doesnt really make sense. How could a gentile squeeze release something that hot moving water wont. In my experience, tannins are released if temps and times are too high. It's like tea...

I was hoping for a little bit more flavor descriptors and comparison in terms of acidity/astringency/sweetness. Which of these strains leave more malt character? These would help me decide on next yeast strain for me

@WhiteLabsInc 3 жыл бұрын

What type of beer are you looking to brew? In this trial, WLP001 California Ale Yeast made a beer that promoted the most malt character. The other three strains more so accentuated hop aroma along with interesting ester profiles from the strains. There are a lot of variables and we hope to dive down the rabbit hole in creating content to showcase these differences. Cheers!

@ukapas 3 жыл бұрын

@@WhiteLabsInc Thank you for these materials! I appreciate your work. I'm just a type of person who always looks for the details. Speaking of what I'm currently looking for is a yeast strain (no wild fermentation!) that will fit blackberry sour ale, kettle soured with Lactobacillus Plantarum, esters, if present, must fit the fruit character. I'd like to have something with decent flocculation (some of my beers have yeasty character), some residual sugars would be nice too but not a must.
