From inspiration of one of BribieG's posts, I'd though I start a thread where we could put down our experiences with wyeast and when in their generation cycle we have had the best results, or in Bribie's words "go like the clappers". I'll start hey
I don't really have enough experience to comment on any other yeast but 1056 (I use this a lot), but I've been finding that my 3rd gen is a f**king madman, only time I've had this yeast nearly jump out of the fermentor. All the starters are firing up with massive krausen within 12 hrs (1.5L) pitching this active starter into wort I get the same result, nice bigish krausen within 12 hrs, and in 24, faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrk. Never seen anything like it, apart from BribieG's crazy crazy krausen recycled pic of his headbanger stout.
So, what have you found?
