Dubbel yeast
Question:
This only answers your link question: http://members.cox.net/bis9170-1/Yeast_Sources.pdf – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – So, given a choice of WLP500 and WLP530, which would you choose for a dubbel and why? Oh, and can you give me the link to the yeast site that lists what commercial breweries these are supposed to be from? I thought I had that in my favorites, only to discover my link doesn’t work any more. Thanks Brian

Brian, I have used the abbey ale and trappist ale (dont know the numbers). I think the abbey ale is closer in final result to white labs 1214 but I may be wrong. The Trappist is a bird of another colour, I used it and maybe my recipe was too complicated, but the beer was all over the place. I think it produces a lot more different flavours. my not so scientific opinion john – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – So, given a choice of WLP500 and WLP530, which would you choose for a dubbel and why?

I think either would be fine. We used the 530 in our NHD big brew http://hbd.org/carboy/nhd.htm and it did throw off a little bananna, but that subsided over time. I’d probably suggest trying the 500 if that is something you might not desire even though it basically went away… Cheers, Mike
