Thanks for that.

Very interesting to see their Dry/Liquid comparison chart.

Seems like if you want a neutral strain, either are fine but dry is a bit more convenient.  However, if you want a yeast that is going to contribute something interesting to the finished beer, liquid is the way to go.

This is great news!  I’ve always favored White Labs liquid yeast.  However, my LHBS stopped carrying it.  Now, all they carry is Omega.  I considered buying WL via mail order.  But that’s kind of scary as I’ve been afraid it would get too warm in transit.  I hope to see WL roll out more strains!

Thanks!

i talked to a brewers at a local brewery in Florida the other ay and he told me that he could get WLP-001 in dry form now.  he said that it was not cheap, $250 for a brick of it.  As far as he knew it was not yet available to homebrewers as of yet.  I am sure that will happen soon.

White Labs did a really good job of putting that together. Kudos.

It's great to see, but I wonder if it will be as different from 001 as US05 is from 1056.

It looks like they’ve already given themselves a pass: “Generally more neutral in flavor and aroma. The drying process contributes some stress on yeast, so flavor production in fermentation is muted.  Liquid counterparts will have more distinct aromas and complex flavors due to the health and viability.”

Due to the drying process, cell membranes can often be deficient in membrane proteins responsible for flocculation.  This can lead to less effective flocculation capabilities.

Interesting --- I'd heard arguments for liquid based on variety and flavor, but I don't recall seeing this noted elsewhere.
