Looks like we have a new dry yeast option

Having another option during the warm summer months sounds great. Sounds to be similar to wyeast 1272.

Danstar American West Coast Ale Yeast BRY-97

http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/brew ... yeast.html

New! BRY-97 American West Coast Yeast was selected from the Siebel Institute Culture Collection and is used by a number of commercial breweries to produce different types of ale. It is a classic American ale yeast that offers the convenience and long shelf life of dried yeast along with high quality standards and excellent performance.

Quick, clean, and well-attenuating are the chief properties of this yeast. It is most comparable to the “Chico”-style strains. In our experience, this strain stays clean at relatively high temperatures (up to 78F), and flocculation is marginally better than other “Chico” strains. Due to the slightly higher flocculation tendencies, it does slightly reduce bittering levels in the finished beer.

Going to have to try it out versus US-05.

Let us know how that goes. Doesn’t really sound like theres going to be a significant difference, and I don’t plan to abandon my efforts to control ferm temp.

4

Interesting. May have to give it a try.

5

Going to be giving it a try as well. Although, I have no plans of pushing the 78F mark.

6

I think Ill pick some up next time I go by NB. Then Ill split my next 10 gallon batch, half with US-05, half with BRY-97.

…and I’ll try this as well.

I’m not a frequent user of dry yeasts, but it’s definitely good to see new choices making their way into the pipeline. I’ll certainly give this one a spin at some point to see how it stacks up.

9

Doesn’t another yeast company put out a dry yeast with the number 97 in the name? A german ale I think.

I thought I’d bump this thread up and see what people thought of this yeast, especially those who did the split batch with US-05.

Great idea at the right time! Our brew club will be doing our anual club brew at a recently oppened microbrewery in our comunity. We intend to brew one particular style(not decided on yet) and each member ferment with different types of yeast aprpriate to the style and copare diferences when there done . This shall be on of my yeasts…Tank :cheers:
