West Coast Ale dry yeast
euge:
I just bought some last week and plan to use it today or tomorrow. It's called BRY-97 "American West Coast Ale Yeast".
I suppose it'll be similar to wlp001? Maybe Pacman? Fingers crossed...
blatz:
I saw BRY-97 when I failed to get any amarillo the other day. Started digging around the net and found the following thread which has a few brewer's opinions who have used it:

I'll give it a try sometime, but I don't have my hopes up - I didn't have much luck with Pacman, and this sounds about the same, so I might just stick with US-05 when using dry.

Danstar has a new saison yeast too I'm interested in. I've had poor luck with Windsor in the past (really low attenuation), so I usually only use Fermentis.

Windsor is known for its low attenuation. It does make a pretty good mild or bitter though. The maltiness really comes through as you would want in an English style.

No, like 40% apparent attenuation. Is that typical?

That is low! I usually get 60 - 65%.
