Had my first taste of the Crescat US1933 Local Blonde Smash. Only 2 weeks in the bottle so still very young.
Very happy with the results however and considering to use this yeast as my house ale yeast in place of US-05. I've attached some pics. It's not at all clear but that's how it was expected as I didn't use any finnings. I cold crashed for a couple of days but i suspect it will clear a bit more over time, since after only two weeks, it's not yet completely done with carbonation/conditioning.
Yeast is clean, hop aroma pops through very nicely. I think the yeast might work specifically well with lighter ales as the little less attenuation compared with US-05 gives it a bit more of a soul. For some styles (stronger) you might want a higher attenuation to dry it out more. The second batch is now cold crashing and though i don't specifically want a clear blonde ale, i might fine with gelatine to see how the yeast reacts.
Will use this yeast next on a Northern Brown English ale and then a Dry Irish Stout. Glad to hear the guys from Crescat are going to give a talk at the east rand meeting coming up. IMG-20170916-WA0010.jpgIMG-20170916-WA0008.jpg
