Wyeast 1469 West Yorkshire Ale

[Peter Wadey]

I contacted Wyeast last month asking about the possibility of re-release of this strain.

According to Brian Perkey (Customer Service Manager) at Wyeast, they "plan on releasing a series of English strains this fall and I am guessing that the 1469 will be part of the lineup"

Perhaps if we show them how interested we are, it might tip the balance in favour of a re-release.

Not just a good yeast, an outstanding yeast that suits a lot of styles.

Currently on tap at home in an English IPA if any one wants to pop around and try it :lol: !

As per a PM to Pete, Wyeast released it last time due to interest on AHB, so keep it up!

Well, from the description it sounds exactly what I need for my English ale(s).
Of course, the big-ups from you guys helps! I do hate tryin new yeasts without any local knowledge.

I emailed Wyeast about a month ago re this yeast and received the same reply as Peter. I suggest if you want it email Wyeast via the VSS Private Collection address [email protected]. and ask for it to be rereleased.

Its crap..don't even think about it.
My Munich Helles tasted like friut seltzer when I used it, OK I thought, it might make a good wheat beer, wrong again, someone suggested an English Pale Ale, but I can't stand EPA (being a good Texan Oilman)..what's a boy to do...go for gold ..the gold packs under the lids..works for me...

Sorry.. you used a "West Yorkshire Ale" yeast in a "Munich Helles", then you tried it in a wheat beer... and you are bagging it? :huh:

Hook, line and sinker.

Does anyone get a bit of banana in the profile of 1469 when it's fresh? I've made a couple of beers now that have it. It tends to fade after a week or so.
