Substitute for San Diego Super Yeast WPL090?

[The Judge]

What's the closest liquid yeast substitute? High flocc, clean, low ester production etc

Thanks

I found 1217 to be pretty damn clean and drops like a brides knickers

Why not just use WLP090?

 

[Bribie G]

Currently available, I've got a vial in my fridge at the moment.

 

[Yob]

5 vials of each in the freezer

I would love to use it, but I don't reckon you can send it to me in Perth ready for Wednesday night brew-night Spiesy! Or can you????

Two words: No chill :beerbang:

Would depend on your postcode and if you are next day delivery, many parts of wa aren't. Even if they say they are.. Buggers..

I believe we can. Express Post is supposed to go between Melbourne and any of these Perth postcodes, next business day: 6000-6005; 6800-6899 .

Would have given yourself a better chance had you ordered the yeast this morning though - as we could have got it out the door today.
Still, according to Express Post, if it leaves tomorrow - it should be with you Wednesday.

Righto - I'm on it. Send tomorrow, and arrive in 6000 tomorrow.


Good advice on 1217 anyway Yob - will remember ;-) cheers fellas.

When Proculture yeasts were available I used to buy them from He who shall not be named

(Nev)

And they would arrive still cold virtually overnight. WA to Eastern states is pretty good as a rule so hopefully the same in the other direction.

Sadly it's not. As Spiesy mentioned, unless you're in 6000-6005 or the 6800 range, it's going on a truck rather than a plane. Express Post ain't express unless you're in the CBD!

I know you're being cheeky but there is absolutely no reason why you can't mention Nev or his business (online brewing supplies, formerly gryphon brewing). He may not be allowed as a member here but he still services the community by providing ingredients and equipment.

White Labs says 001 Cali. Ale is similar.

I looked it up because I ended up with 090 recently instead of 001.

I've never used either personally. The 090 is 'stepping up' as I type...looking forward to it.

I work in the CBD and have had Spiesy and others deliver to me a few times now and each time I've asked the receptionist to put the package in the fridge when it arrives. Problem is, now even when I get normal mail at the office the ditz puts that in the fridge too ;-)

Lol.

Receptionists... quite often the ones that are good to look at aren't often the best at their job.

And the cold packs are good for kids lunch boxes too

 

[The Judge]

Yeah just as well she's good to look at!
