Nice one Phil. Cool video's. Thats a significant amount of hops!
Interested in the results between the 2 different yeasts. Post back with results if you get a chance.
Cheers
Basically the difference that I found was that the 1272 was more neutral and attenuated that little bit more than the 1187, which IMO made the beer more drinkable and balanced. However, the 1187 had a lot more yeast character which added that extra dimension. 1187 is my yeast of choice for the 10 min IPAs, not only for the esters that it produces, but because it simply doesn't attenuate as much as 1056, 1450 and 1272, leaving a bit more body, which I find allows me to add more hops at 10 mins, achieving greater hop aroma.
But the interesting this is, 3 of those that tasted this beer found the 1187 version to be more bitter than the 1272. The numbers will show that the 1272 version should be more bitter, so it is interesting. Also, the 1187 version did seem to be more resiny and IMO a bit more grassy...maybe some palettes pick up the resin as bitterness, who knows, but I like getting different brewers feedback on beers, as some people pick up different things than others, one of the reasons I love beer presentations.
Im putting in a 10 min IPA in the up coming case swap. 95/5 Pale/dark crystal. 8g/l of centennial at 10 mins, 1.060 and 60 IBU. 1187.
Don't think I will be the only one putting in a 10 min IPA in this swap with Boston and QB also putting in versions of the 10 min IPA.
Cheers
Phil
