I'd go with wlp090 for a fairly neutral "American" version of a golden strong. You can probably get close to 90% attenuation with that grist and a simple step mash. As mentioned above, pitch a big active starter or oxygenate with pure oxygen.

The Stone IPA of 2024 is quite a bit different than 2008. From the Stone website, the hops are now As far body, the Stone house yeast isn't quite wlp002 or wlp007. They seem to get high attenuation (80%+) with a really low mash temperature while still leaving what they call (and I agree) medium...

It was quite awhile ago - I was in Aoyama. There was a tiny shop in Shibuya that sold dry malt extract and a few hops. I can't remember the name or find it - I wouldn't be surprised if it was gone. I also ordered from Sakeland. It looks like hops are a lot less expensive than they used to be...

I lived in central Tokyo for a few years and brewed there. I only did extract but never had any trouble getting supplies. The water is fine with the exception that there is usually a lot of chlorine in it. Campden tablets were a necessity.

Great looking beers, I love it!

Homebrew American lager.

12 Beers of Xmas Caramel Quad from @4_Sons_Brewing. Thanks, it's delicious!

I had my last quad from @4_Sons_Brewing a week ago or so. If anything it's better than I remember. I'd probably participate again but not organize.

It all looks like yeast to me. I am curious why it's only on that thin section of the coil. Was it not all in contact with the beer?

Cellarmaker Dank and Infused. Super nice west coast pils.

2024 Pliny for President. More tropical, less dank than PtE

I brewed a double ipa today. Columbus, Chinook, Centennial. Pitched wlp002 and it’s starting to bubble 6 hours later.

Made a starter with wlp002. Some to save and some for a double ipa this weekend.

The folks at my local store are great- always helpful and responsive. They also offer an aha discount so I take that and then tip the same amount.

Nice looking beer! You can definitely dry hop a kit.

Homebrew extract light lager. Darn refreshing.

Ruination 1.0. For my money, still the best double ipa out there.

A “pretend it’s 1999” hb pale ale. It could be better. Fresh us-05 is never as good as a repitch.

I've also been having trouble finding enough consecutive hours to do an all grain brew day. Extract can make some good beers though. Today I kegged a light dme (and a little sugar) + vista hops + K97 pale that's been in the fermenter for 3 weeks. Sample tasted great! I also swapped my beverage...

I’m guessing the yeast in question is https://en.angelyeast.com/products/distilled-spirits-and-biofuels/american-ale-yeast-a01.html
