Uses for WLP810

Post by Paddington » Mon Feb 05, 2018 1:59 pm

I have a California Common conditioning at the moment and I'm looking for something different to brew with the harvested WLP810. Any suggestions?

I've never done it, but Ca. common yeast is supposed to work down to normal lager temperature range so pretty much any lager recipe would work, although I think it would be better in maltier styles.
I'm just here for the beer.

WLP810 and WY2112 are supposed to be the same, Anchor Steam yeast. Have a look at the suitable styles for this yeast on Wyeasts site, plenty to go at for inspiration.

White labs recommend it for a (predictable) range of Lager derivatives.
