Food and Drink ***Official CP Homebrew American IPA Collaboration Poll - Yeast***

KCUnited · 05-25-2017, 09:37 AM

Now that we've identified American IPA as our style, it's time to pick the yeast we'll be using to ferment.

Also, the poll to decide ABV is open for another 24 hours here

For simplicity sake, I'm going to select a couple of the more popular IPA yeasts and try my best to include comparable strains from the major labs (Wyeast, White Labs, Omega, Fermentis, etc) into one polling option. Some of the comparable strains will not be exact. I'll also include links for descriptors, substitution charts, online retailers, and a homebrew shop directory by state.

If you have a prefered strain that isn't listed, you can vote Other and write it in. The specific yeast vote is for recipe listing only. My local homebrew shop sells Wyeast and Omega exclusively, so you can obviously use whatever is available to you.

Also, the recipe will be for a 5 gallon batch. I scale mine down to 3.5 due to my capacity and can assist anyone else in scaling theirs.
