My American Brown Ale which turned out like more of an Amber Ale because I used Pale Chocolate Malt instead of the 350 L Chocolate malt.

Beautiful color on that.  The next time someone wants to make something with some RED in it, they should refer to that beer.

CAP with Saaz, 6-row, flaked maize, and Mexican lager yeast. Delicious! I am loving the Mexican lager yeast for this one. Very crisp and clean.

Beautiful beer and I LOVE 940.  I just got done with a run of 940 lagers... I think I made 10 or 11 beers with the same blob of it.

More festbier out in the greenhouse this afternoon...

Frankly, I bought it because of your testimonials. I assume Omega Mexican Lager is the same as the WLP940. Regardless, the beer I made with it is really good.  I kept the slurry and plan to use it for many repitches. I am even thinking about fermenting an APA with it.

Mmm, I forgot that Omega had a Mexican Lager yeast.  I'm not sure how many different Mexican strains are out there but I know that there was Wyeast 2005 Cerveza Mexicana at some point.  I brewed with it and it was fine but it wasn't 940.  I think 940 is Modelo's yeast.   Maybe 2005 is the strain used in the Cuauhtémoc-Moctezuma beers (Dos Equis, Tecate, Sol, Indio, etc).  Not sure about the Omega version.

The Omega yeast catalog says “compare to” WLP940. That implies OYL-113 and WLP940 are the same. Of course maybe they want us to compare because they think their yeast is better

I didn't realize that Omega had so many strains available.  I see that their Mexican can be compared to 940 which is good to know.  I was reading something about how 940 could actually be a Euro strain that was brought over when Maximillian I went over to Mexico and eventually it was known as a Mexican strain... possibly different from the strain originally brought over.  I feel like beers made with 940 have a bright character that goes well with warm weather.  It's one reason I made so many 940 beers this past spring and summer.  Refreshing, balanced, bright, etc.  Cheers.
