Brewed it today - used the AHA Little Sumpin' Sumpin' clone. Brew day was great, hit my numbers and no big mishaps. Now have 5 gallons happily fermenting away. Poured in the vial of CF before the yeast, then aerated. We'll see how it goes!

they're not celiacs, so maybe I should just tell them I added it... Thanks for the info.

Im going to be brewing a Lagunitas Little Sumpin Sumpin clone the weekend. I'm planning on adding a vial of clarity Ferm since a few of my friends are all eager to try a gluten free beer. Anybody ever try this? I'm curious if there is any noticeable impact on flavor, mouthfeel, head retention...

Ok, as a final update to my Feb 11th post, have now racked both halves into short kegs. The 1056 beer is simply darker than 1275, which is weird. At this point, WY1056 has attenuated down to 1,012, whereas 1275 achieved 1.014. Not a huge difference in numbers, but the UK beer is clearly...

R/C planes - check. Fishing, yep. I don't know how to make boats. :( But from this thread looks like folks who brew just live better lives all around...

Ok gang, as promised, here is an update on my US/UK side-by-side yeast experiment: I brewed this double batch on Superbowl Sunday, and racked from the primary today (day 6). Had a couple of guys taste with me - still early days, but a HUGE difference in all aspects of the profile and...

Hey, thanks for the feedback, guys. Ive been brewing for years, but this will be my first yeast side-by-side so looking forward to experiencing the difference for myself. One of you mentioned that grain bill is about #5 or 6. Curious what you see as other top factors or influencers of flavor...

Thanks JA - good idea on reducing the darker malt. Hoping to get this started this weekend!

Have always been curious about how much of a difference the yeast actually makes. I'm planning to brew this 10 gallon batch of an APA to split and pitch one fermenter with Wyeast 1275 (Thames Valley) and the other with Wyeast 1056 (American Ale). Both will be fermented side-by side at about...
