New Wyeast strains

Sat Dec 16, 2006 4:55 pm

Here is the lowdown on a few new Wyeast strains:

Wyeast 1469 West Yorkshire Ale:
From a well-known and highly regarded brewery in Keighley, West Yorkshire, England. Full chewy malt flavor and character, but finishes dry, producing famously balanced beers. Moderate nutty and stone-fruit esters. Bright beers easily achieved within days without filtration. For production of cask-conditioned bitters, ESB and mild ale.
Alc. tolerance appox. 9% ABV.
Flocculation: High
Apparent Attenuation: 67-71% (64-72F, 18-22C)

Wyeast 2782 Staro Prague Lager:
From deep in the back recesses of our archives, and originally sourced from a large brewery in Prague. Does not finish as dry as other Czech pils yeast strains. Medium to full body, moderate fruit, and distinct bready malt flavor dominating. Balance is slightly toward malt sweetness, and benefits from additional hop bitterness.
Flocculation: Medium
Apparent attenuation: 70-74% (50-58F, 10-14C)

The Flying Dog yeast will also be available but the information I recieved didn't give a strain number.
I've always thought why no one has made a women's perfume to smell like beer. I know that would turn me on.

Wyeast doesn't give much information on their website about the Flying dog yeast. They do provide an e-mail address so you can ask the brewmaster questions regarding this yeast strain. I'd think they'd at least be able to get the attentuation % and the Flocculation info.
