NE IPA Yeast options?
« on: March 10, 2017, 07:56:47 am »
So I've brewed a NE IPA a couple of times right now and based on a friends recommendation, I've used lallemand nottingham yeast.  It has worked out very well. I was wondering if there were other yeast options? I was thinking imperial yeast A24 Dry Hop ?

I've used US-05 in mine so far with great results.  I'm actually going to do my next one (Bissell Brother Swish clone) using Conan (GigaY054) so I can decide which I like best.

Thanks for the response, I'm pretty used to using US-05 and was going to try something different.  let me know how that clone comes out! big fan of swish!  Recipe posted somewhere?

Two most common strains are the conan strain and WY1318 London Ale III (the Boddingtons strain). I haven't used conan but I have used WY1318. I like it a lot. It definitely is not a yeast that likes to clear and easily gets kicked back into solution. It's perfect for NEIPA but something of a problem in other styles where clarity is prized.

If you have access to Imperial, the Barbarian yeast is from Heady Topper.  It's the same as the Conan mentioned above.  The Dry Hop would probably work as well. 

I'm using Barbarian in my CDA to get the citrusy aspects of it.  Cloudiness doesn't matter in a black IPA.

A hearty second for the Imperial Yeast - Barbarian. I've only had a few NE styles being out here in Seattle, but mine tasted in the ballpark using this yeast.

This would be worth a shot. Why? Conan was said to come from Noonan's Vermant Pub and Brewery in Burlington, as John Kimmich worked there before starting Alchemist.

now im looking at
Imperial Organic Yeast - A38 Juice
Juicy. Fruity. Juice is an amazing strain for East Coast IPAs. The ester profile of Juice brings out the aromas and flavors of the new school hops and creates a beers  that is greater than the sum of its parts. Keep an eye on this strain, it likes to move to the top of fermentation and will climb out the the fermenter if too full.

Temp: 64-74F, 18-23C // Flocculation: medium // Attenuation: 72-76%

My grain bill is: 2 row, Flaked Wheat, Wheat malt, carapils, crystal 15

From the description you posted of A38, it sounds a lot like WY1318, which top crops as much as any yeast I've ever used (even 3787).

I have heard a couple people that have used it, and they thought it was basically 1318 as well.

I am a fan of Conan/Vermont and 1272 in NE IPA's
1318 gives a bit more yeast character that I personally like.

My first try (should be kegging it this week) I used GY054.  I read lots on this and plan on trying a few different recipes and yeast but so far, things look and taste very good.
Seems lots of folks use 1318 or some other British Ale yeast so I may give that a try next time.
I am very curious on how adding dry hops before fermentation ends will come out.  I'm not really sure the best time to add them and I plan on playing around with that as well.

I forgot to post this.  This is the result of the A38 yeast from imperial
