White Labs WLP037 Yorkshire Square

my wlp 037 never looked vigorous in the starter but wow it climbed the wall very quickly in my black sheep ale

Checked this morning and its steady away. I'm expecting that thick creamy crust by tonight

Thought the yeast had started to pick up a little this morning, but I checked the gravity this evening and still 1038, think it is definitely dead.

John and Patsy from Hop and Grape are really good, they sent me a replacement yeast (WLP001), currently got this on a stirplate and planning an SNPA this weekend, customer service is excellent.

Gents,

Did anyone experience phenols/plastic off flavors from this strain? I pitched a 1037og bitter and then 1038og mild with the slurry. Both had slight phenols. Is it just me, or did anyone have similar experiences?

Thanks, Bill

I didnt notice any off flavours but would say that it wasnt a yeast that I'll rush out to buy again as it didnt add much to the mix for me.
