Yeah thought so cunty yeast!! Its worse than S05!! but tastes good real neutral!! I just fined it in the keg as I was getting pissed off with it!! good yeast though!!
For an english Yeast if find it quite nuetral it lets Both hops and Malt through!! Maybee balanced is the right word? As this is in an 3.6% Ordinary and its all malt and Hops!!
Yeah I just wrote the English yeast off after S04 but in saying that the Wyeast Cask Ale PC yeast was probably one of my fav's, pity its not a regular yeast!! Oh yeah 3.6% I know soft aye!!
Not really a fan of the 1026, I got a shitload of diacetyl off of it, the third pitch was okish, but IMO nothing compared to 1469 - I think ill shed a couple of tears when I run out of it, cos we prolly wont see it for a while :o(
How could you?!?! :o( I feel like ive lost one of my children!
1026 was harvested from the primary cake, so its gen 2, I repitched after I took a few bottles of trub and she was fine.. I reckon just build up a mass starter personally..
