West Yorkshire yeast ala the TT yeast is very good. One of the most complex yeast profiles I have used.

I keep it on slants as it is not available all year round.

What is 1026 cask ale yeast like?

This is excellent news and it will be very interesting to see what the other rare English strains will be.

From the US sites, it seems very likely that one of them will be 1026 Cask Ale yeast. No idea about the other one.

So has anyone used 1026? If so what comments do you have on it?

just-cj from japan who posted a bit here a while back is a big fan, check out brewboard for his user name cj in J or something and JPA (japan pale ale) as he waxes lyrical about it.

Great news as I am down to my last 2 Activator packs from '07.
Had not got around to plating them yet.
Was saving these for this Spring's brewing.

I used it once in that Imperial Porter you tried some time ago and I know jayse was a big rap for this yeast.

Can't recall what it was like to be honest.

Yes that Imperial Porter was a very impresive beer. Probably one of the best beer tasting experiences I've had.

Ah kirem, thanks for the compliment :beer: !

It was inspired by Doc's Vanilla Bourbon Porter without the Bourbon or Vanilla .

It looks as if Doc had a fair whack of experience with said yeast if you read this thread:

Anyway, looks as if both the 1469 and 1026 yeasts will be popular when re-released :super: !

Do they bear any relationship to Belgian Pale Ale yeasts?

On a related note, I had some Worthington's White Shield IPA from the Coors brewery, Burton-on-Trent. I noted that it was bottle conditioned and there was harvestable quantities of yeast slurry in the bottom of the bottle. Anybody know what strain the yeast is? An excellent IPA by the way - highly recommended.

Cheers,

I haven't used it for a few years now but made a very nice aussie ale for the mash paddle with it a few years ago. fermented out well and dropped very clear. Was fairly restrained on flavour from memory. If it comes out again I'll be buying some.

 

[Stuster]

TL, it's supposed to be the same as 1028 and WLP013. I tried culturing it up but it didn't start at all for me.

Yup, good old Dr K ....

He keeps throwing them out there and reeling them in .....

Hmmmm, if it's like 1028 it should be easy to culture! Ok, thanks for the tip and I'll procede with caution.

Cheers,
